Cyclic Ether Triggers for Polymeric Frustrated Lewis Pair Gels

Utku Yolsal et al.

Summary: Sterically hindered Lewis acid and base centers form frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) instead of Lewis adducts, allowing for activation of small molecules. By applying FLP chemistry to polymeric frameworks, responsive and functional materials can be created. A versatile synthesis strategy for macromolecular FLPs has been developed, with potential demonstrated through ring-opening reactions of cyclic ethers in polymer networks. The steric and electronic properties of the ethers can tune the cross-linking, strength, and reactivity of the networks, showcasing the versatility of FLPs in simultaneously controlling small-molecule capture and mechanical properties of materials.
