Abstract
The force dependence of the copper-free Huisgen cycloaddition between
an alkyne and a surface-bound azide was examined in elastomeric nanoreactors.
These studies revealed that pressure and chain length are critical
factors that determine the reaction rate. These experiments demonstrate
the central role of pressure and surface structure on interfacial
processes that are increasingly important in biology, materials science,
and nanotechnology
