Systemic polymeric libraries polymerization

The pooled encoded format was also used by Boussie and co-workers (179, 180) to prepare and screen Pd- and Ni-diimine ligand complexes as olefin polymerization catalytic systems. The successful application of deconvolutive or encoding methods to medium-large SP catalytic system pool libraries should become routine in the future. Careful validation of the synthetic scheme, the screening, and the detection methods will ensure the applicability of HTS of SP catalytic pool libraries to each specific transformation investigated.

Over the last two decades, organometallic complexes have been at the heart of many of the key advances in metal-mediated alkene polymerization technology, with many examples now reaching the early stages of commercialization. While early transition metal complexes (e.g., metallocenes, constrained-geometry catalysts) have led the way, the advent of late transition metal catalysts has presented a rich library of highly active systems that can be employed... 

On the other hand, Kato et al. (52) reported the synthesis of 4 -thiopyrimidines (U and C) and their incorporation into transcripts by T7 RNA polymerase. The 4 -thio modification increased the stability of the transcripts 50-fold relative to the natural RNA transcripts. Using these libraries, Kato et al. (52) successfully performed a SELEX modification, and they were able to discover an aptamer to thrombin. Vaught et al. (56) showed that several UTPs substituted at the 5-position can be synthesized and subsequently transcribed using T7 RNA polymerase. Kuwahara et al. (59) have synthesized similar 5-modified dUTP compounds and have shown that a DNA polymerase efficiently catalyzed their template-dependent polymerization. Jaeger et al. 58) described a similar system for introducing a variety of modified bases into oligonucleotides using other DNA polymerases. 

This chapter aims to provide an update on the role of anions as templates. The review is divided in two main sections (a) anion-templated synthesis of assemblies linked together by irreversible bonds (or bonds that are inert under mild experimental conditions) (b) anion templates in systems where the bonds linking the components are reversible and lead to anion-controlled dynamic combinatorial libraries. Since some comprehensive reviews in the area of anion temptation have appeared over the past few years [5-7], this chapter will mainly focus on papers published recently and will aim to show the principles of anion temptation rather than being a comprehensive account of the literature. In addition, the scope of the chapter will be restricted to finite assemblies (molecular or supramolecular) and not polymeric (for a review on molecularly imprinted polymers using anions see Steinke s chapter in this volume). 

The SCVP approach to HPs was first reported by Frechet and co-workers through polymerization of an AB -type monomer. Normally, the AB contains a vinyl group and a functional group that can initiate the polymerization of the vinyl moiety. Hence, the AB is also named as an inimer (inimer = initiator + monomer).Up to date, SCVP has been extended to cationic, anionic and radical polymerization systems, preparing various libraries of HPs and HP-modified solid surfaces. If the AB ...
