Abstract

Topochemical Polymerization: In a topochemical reaction, chemical changes start at active sites in the solid and then proceed autocatalytically to neighboring regions. If one starts with a monomer that can form ordered structures similar to the final polymer, it is possible to polymerize chains in a fully ordered state and thus make very long single chains. Dou et al. (p. 272 ; see the Perspective by Goroff ) describe an unexpected visible-light–induced polymerization of derivatives of a dye. Two of the derivatives underwent photoinduced single-crystal-to-single-crystal topochemical polymerization.

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.
