Abstract
Processes for chemical functionalization of materials is described. The processed generally include chemical reaction between a thiol group of a first compound or material and an alkane group or alkyne group of a second compound or material. Also disclosed are functionalized materials and compounds suitable for functionalizing a material.
Claims19
A process for chemical functionalization wherein the process includes reacting an alkene compound of the formula
- wherein m is an integer between 1 and 22 inclusive with a thiol reactant at the thiol moiety thereof, said thiol reactant selected from the group consisting of a thiol-containing compound and a material that comprises a pendant thiol moiety.
A process for chemical functionalization, said process comprising reacting a thiol compound of the formula:
- wherein m is an integer between 1 and 22 inclusive;
- with an alkene reactant at the alkene moiety thereof, said alkene reactant selected from the group consisting of an alkene-containing compound or a material that comprises a pendant alkene moiety.
A compound suitable for functionalizing a material comprising pendant amino, amido, imino or hydroxyl groups, said compound having the formula:
- Wherein Y and Z are each independently selected from the group consisting of Cl, OH and NH2.
