  1. We describe the photoinduced intrachain crosslinking of coumarin-containing copolymers in various organic solvents. Analysis of copolymer solvation and comparison to a molecular coumarin derivative revealed solvophobicity-driven crosslinking kinetics and chain compaction that facilitated the synthesis of single-chain nanoparticles.

    We describe a self-catalyzing photoredox polymerization system for the modular generation of macromolecular photocatalysts. Specifically, we designed a photoactive eosin Y-derived monomer that can induce photoelectron/energy transfer, while simultaneously partaking in reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization as a monomer, affording polymer catalysts with tunable eosin Y incorporations.

  3. Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) is a facile method to obtain block copolymer aggregates with defined morphologies. However, the transitions between these morphologies have been difficult to monitor directly in real-time during the polymerization. Herein, we describe a straightforward and readily accessible in situ method to monitor the evolution of nanostructure via changes in internal hydrophobicity during the PISA process using a polymer-tethered pyrene fluorescent probe. We were able to correlate morphological transitions with changes of the pyrene emission and gain unprecedented insight into the evolution of core hydrophobicity during PISA.

    We report the one-step synthesis of diversely substituted functional 1,2-dithiolanes by reacting readily accessible 1,3-bis- tert -butyl thioethers with bromine. The reaction proceeds to completion within minutes under mild conditions, presumably via a sulfonium-mediated ring closure. Using X-ray crystallography and UV-vis spectroscopy, we demonstrate how substituent size and ring substitution pattern can affect the geometry and photophysical properties of 1,2-dithiolanes.
