Site-Selective Trimodular Polymerization to Amino Acid-Based Poly(ether amide)s with Divergent Properties.
Amido groups are ubiquitous in natural and synthetic polymers and impart critical physiological and physicochemical properties. Conventional access to backbone-amido polymers, polyamides, generally relies on harsh conditions or highly reactive monomers to form amide bonds during polymerization. Here, we report a mild a...
