This article, published in Angewandte Chemie, discusses the challenges and potential solutions in the synthesis of miktoarm star polymers. The authors, Mingxin Zhang, Panchao Yin, and their colleagues, propose the use of metal-organic polyhedra with logarithmic ligand exchange dynamics as templates for the reversible sorting and hybridization of miktoarm star polymers. This approach opens up new possibilities for the design of sustainable polymers. The article also briefly mentions other research topics such as visible-light photoswitchable benzimidazole azo-arenes, enantioselective synthesis of arylglycines, electrochemical diacetoxylation of alkenes, and the control of structural properties in supported/bulk metal oxides through catalyst post-treatment.
