Fun use of macrocycles as property modifiers in polymer chemistry with a explanation for the fall-off at higher concentrations. Just wish the impact had been bigger - it's big synthetic effort for relatively small payoffs in modulus.

Hi Fediverse! It’s time to introduce myself. 🙂 I’m an #organic #chemist and #research fellow at Imperial College London. Most of my current research is on cyclic molecules known as #conjugated #macrocycles, which can be used in #batteries 🔋 and other applications. #ChemiVerse #ChemToots #Science
My team and I have recently developed a molecular building block for the synthesis of redox-active porous #organic #materials, which we have named #Squarephaneic #Tetraanhydride: https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.202212623
