Researchers produce polymers from ballbot-type carbenes for the first time

Researchers have produced long-chain mobile polymers on metallic surfaces, doing so by means of ballbot-type molecules which glide over the surface

31-Aug-2023 - N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are small, reactive ring molecules which bond well with metallic surfaces and which, over the past few years, have attracted a great deal of interest in the field of the stable chemical modification of metallic surfaces. One property – discovered at the University ...
