Abstract

Mimicking nature: The central mechanisms of living organisms depend on the formation of specific hydrogen bonds. Advances in the areas of catalysis and supramolecular chemistry have been applied here for the synthesis of a novel class of elastomeric polyolefins with properties dependent upon strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Keywords: homogeneous catalysis; hydrogen bonds; polymerization; self-assembly; supramolecular chemistry.
