• Y is a biradical selected from CO, CS and SO2,
• W1 and W2 is each independently a bond or a biradical selected from O, S and NR1, wherein R1 is selected from H, C1-4 alkyl and C3-10 cycloalkyl,
• n is an integer selected from 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4,
• V is a radical selected from the group consisting of —CO-T, —CS-T and —SO2-T, or a radical selected from the group consisting of:
