Synthetic approaches for the preparation of cyclic polymers
Abstract
Despite decades of studies devoted to the unique physical properties and potential applications of cyclic polymer topologies, their exploration has remained limited because of synthetic inefficiencies and acyclic impurities. Many recently developed synthetic techniques offer efficient routes to well-defined cyclic macromolecules to answer this need. This tutorial review aims to provide a concise overview of the most significant synthetic contributions in this field, and highlight the relative advantages and disadvantages of each approach.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
