The first three primary members of the non‐benzenoid carbocyclic aromatic ion family,
namely cyclopropenium, cyclopentadienide, and cycloheptatrienium (tropylium) ions, have …

The development of novel small molecule-based catalysts for organic transformations has
increased noticeably in the last two decades. A very recent addition to this particular …

The synthesis by aqueous RAFT polymerization of hydrophilic narrowly dispersed
imidazolium-based poly (ionic liquid) s (Đ typically below 1.20) is reported. Full monomer …

The potential applications of cationic poly (ionic liquids) range from medicine to energy
storage, and the development of efficient synthetic strategies to target innovative cationic …

A novel nanoparticle-based imaging strategy is introduced that couples biocompatible
organic nanoparticles and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy. Polymer …

Non-viral vectors for the transfection of genetic material are at the frontier of medical science.
In this article, we introduce for the first time, cyclopropenium-containing nanoparticles as a …

Cations and anions attract each other by electrostatic force to form an ion pair. However,
repulsion between cations and anions does exist. There are few examples of repulsive “ion …

Aminocyclopropenium ions have raised much attention as organocatalysts and redox active
polymers. However, the self‐assembly of amphiphilic aminocyclopropenium ions remains …

The present invention provides, inter alia, a process for incorporating a cyclopropenium ion
into a polymeric sys tem. Processes for making cross-linked polymers, linear polymers, and …

To extensively explore the influence of anion structure on the physical properties of poly
(ionic liquid) s (PILs) a series of PILs having main‐chain 1, 2, 3‐triazolium cations was …
