Hydraulicity in Organic Polymers Enabled by Hydrophobization Upon Water‐Triggered Curing of Hydrophilic Chains

Water-curing capability of cementitious materials, commonly known as hydraulicity, is key to their widespread use through simply mixing powder with water to form desired robust structures. However, hydraulicity has been difficult to achieve for organic materials due to the lack o...

Beyond [ N ]Phenylenes: Synthesis and Investigation of Linear [4] and [5]Naphthylenes Incorporating Multiple Four‐Membered Rings

ABSTRACT Ladder‐type polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons (PCHs) incorporating four‐membered rings represent a unique class of organic materials with local antiaromaticity and dearomatization induced by the four‐membered rings. [ N ]Phenylenes represent the only systematically synt...
