Are you curious about the Lewis base-mediated homopolymerization of epoxidized eugenol and its copolymerization with DGEBA? Take a look here: doi.org/10.1007/s007... spoiler: You will see big differences between K54 and 1-methylimidazole.

Understanding the reversible intercalation of guest molecules into MOFs is crucial for advancing their design for practical applications. In a new preprint, we explore the impact of water as a guest molecule on the thermal expansion of the zinc-based MOF: arxiv.org/abs/2504.05189
