Catechol plays an important role in many systems by interacting with organic (eg, amino
acids) and inorganic (eg, metal ions, metal oxides) compounds. Catechol cross‐linked …

Phenols and polyphenols have been used as a scaffold for generating multidimensional
molecular architectures via complexation with metal ions. Here, we report the synthesis and …

Catechols play an important role in many natural systems. They are known to readily interact
with both organic (eg, amino acids) and inorganic (eg, metal ions, metal oxides) compounds …

Catechols participate in several natural processes and functions, ranging from the adhesive
properties of marine organisms to the storage of certain metals ions. Accordingly, many …

Multi-functionality plays a decisive role in tuning and improving fundamental properties of
active molecules, and grafting polymerization/conjugation development imparts properties of …

This review reports the recent advances in the most important and straightforward synthetic
protocols for incorporating catechols into (bio) polymers, and discusses the emerging …

The attachment strategy based on catecholic chemistry has been arousing renewed interest
since the work on polymerized catecholic amine (polydopamine)(Messersmith et al …

The load-bearing proteins in mussel holdfasts rely on condensed tris-catecholato-Fe3+
coordination complexes for their toughness and shock-absorbing properties, and this feature …

Catechols are found in nature taking part in a remarkably broad scope of biochemical
processes and functions. Though not exclusively, such versatility may be traced back to …

Catechol-containing polymers have attracted much attention in recent years because of their
versatile mussel-inspired adhesive function. We report herein the facile synthesis of 4-/3 …
