报告摘要：
Topochemical reactions, the reaction between pre-organized reacting motifs in the crystal lattice, are attractive as they do not require solvents, catalysts and other special reaction conditions for the reaction and provide products in pure form. Also such reactions provide basic understanding about mechanistic and geometrical details about a reaction. We have employed thermal Topochemical Azide–Alkyne Cycloaddition (TAAC), Topochemical Ene-Azide Cycloaddition (TEAC) and Topochemical Diels-Alder Cycloaddition (TDAC) reactions to synthesize various biopolymer mimics. We have exploited hydrogen bonding for the self-assembly of monomers in solid to pre-organize the reacting motifs. Lattice controlled polymerization/oligomerization reaction of such self-assembled (pre-organized) monomers gave various biopolymer mimics. By applying this methodology, we have topochemically synthesized monodisperse glycopolymers, oligosaccharide mimics, DNA analogs and polypeptides.1-9 In this talk, I will demonstrate the use of topochemical polymerization in the synthesis of ladder polymers, 2D polymers, stereocomplex, polymer-polymorphs etc.
报告人简介：
Kana M. Sureshan received PhD from the University of Pune in 2002. He has carried out his post-doctoral research at Ehime University, Japan (2002-2004) availing JSPS fellowship, at the University of Bath (2004-2006) and at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Physiology, Dortmund, Germany as an Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral Fellow (2006-2008). In 2008, he joined the Institute of Life Sciences, Hyderabad as a senior scientist. In 2009, he moved to IISER Thiruvananthapuram as an Assistant Professor and from 2020 onwards he is a full professor and the Dean of Infrastructure & Planning. His research interests broadly lie in the fields of organic chemistry and supramolecular chemistry. He has published 145 research papers in international journals of high repute and has filed eight patents. He gave more than 250 invited-talks/plenary-lectures at various international conferences worldwide. Sureshan is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, London, U. K., Indian Academy of Sciences (FASc) and Indian National Science Academy (FNA). He is also a JC Bose National Fellow since 2023. He is an International Advisory/Editorial Board member of journals, Angewandte Chemie, Chemistry Europe, Chemical Society Reviews and ACS Applied Polymer Materials.
