ADMET Polymers Containing Precisely Spaced Pendant Boronic Acids and Esters

Precise aryl boronic ester- and acid-containing polymers have been synthesized via acyclic diene metathesis. High-molecular weight phenyl boronic acid polymers were synthesized. Cross-linked phenyl boronic acid polymers were also synthesized and demonstrate a unique crystallization behavior not usually seen in cross-linked polymers
