The Neary Group at UC Riverside works at the interface of organic, materials, and organometallic chemistry to develop unconventional strategies for building and transforming polymers. We harness allene reactivity to control polymer structure and sequence, use mechanical force to access unusual reaction pathways, and develop atom-deletion reactions that rewrite polymer backbones through the selective removal of individual atoms. More broadly, our research seeks to translate new modes of molecular reactivity into new approaches for controlling polymer structure, properties, and function.
