• Some Guidelines for the Synthesis and Melting Characterization of Azide Poly(ethylene glycol) Derivatives 

  González Fernández, Daniel; Torneiro Abuín, Mercedes; Lazzari, Massimo (MDPI, 2020)

  We provide fundamental guidelines in the form of a tutorial to be taken into account for the preparation and characterization of a specific class of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) derivatives, namely azide-terminated PEGs. ...

• A Combined Systematic-Stochastic Algorithm for the Conformational Search in Flexible Acyclic Molecules 

  Ferro Costas, David; Fernández Ramos, Antonio (Frontiers, 2020)

  We propose an algorithm that is a combination of systematic variation of the torsions and Monte Carlo (or stochastic) search. It starts with a trial geometry in internal coordinates and with a set of preconditioned torsional ...

• A Global View on Block Copolymers 

  Lazzari, Massimo; Torneiro Abuín, Mercedes (MDPI, 2020)

  In this systematic review, a total of 45,143 publications on block copolymers, issued between 1952 and 2019, are analyzed in terms of number, source, language, institution, country, keywords, and block copolymer type, to ...

• Polymeric Helical Structures à la Carte by Rational Design of Monomers 

  Cobos Cabrera, Scarlet Katherine; Rodríguez Riego, Rafael; Domarco Álvarez, Olaya; Fernández Rodríguez, Berta; Quiñoá Cabana, Emilio; Riguera Vega, Ricardo; Freire Iribarne, Félix Manuel (American Chemical Society, 2020)

  Preparation of helical structures à la carte by monomer design of dynamic helical polymers such as poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) is a difficult task due to conformational freedom of the polyene backbone. Herein, we study ...

• Chiral information harvesting in helical poly(acetylene) derivatives using oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene)s as spacers 

  Fernández Villar, Zulema; Fernández Rodríguez, Berta; Quiñoá Cabana, Emilio; Riguera Vega, Ricardo; Freire Iribarne, Félix Manuel (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)

  A chiral harvesting transmission mechanism is described in poly(acetylene)s bearing oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene)s (OPEs) used as rigid achiral spacers and derivatized with chiral pendant groups. The chiral moieties induce ...
