Hierarchical single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations of a monomer to a 1D-polymer and then to a 2D-polymer

H. Balan and K. M. Sureshan

This groundbreaking research by Haripriya Balan and Kana M. Sureshan reveals an innovative method for synthesizing a stable two-dimensional polymer through single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations, opening new pathways in polymer chemistry. The study showcases the potential of thermally induced topochemical reactions for creating advanced materials.

Abstract
This paper reports the single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) synthesis of a two-dimensional polymer (2D-P) via a thermally induced topochemical azide-alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) reaction. A designed monomer with two azide and two alkyne units undergoes sequential SCSC polymerizations: first to a 1D polymer (1D-P) with 1,5-triazolyl linkages, and then to a 2D-P with both 1,5- and 1,4-triazolyl linkages in orthogonal directions. The 2D-P is thermally stable and can be exfoliated into 2D sheets.
