From 1D ordered linear polymers to discrete macrocycles: surface adsorption and pH take control†
Abstract
In this work we demonstrate that the surface adsorption and pH play a determining role in controlling the final product of a Schiff base reaction. Either 1D linear polymers or discrete macrocycles can be obtained by tuning the pH and surface confinement.
