Our latest perspective is out now in Chem! See Dr. Chris Rybak’s work on transition metal catalyzed polymerization 🧪 cell.com/chem/abstract/S2451…

Advances in polymer chemistry enabled by transition metal catalysis

Transition metal catalysis has played a central role in driving advances in polymer chemistry. In this perspective, we present case studies where catalytic reactions initially developed for small-m...
