Mimicking enzymatic systems: modulation of the performance of polymeric organocatalysts by ion-specific effects

Like natural enzymatic systems, our study has demonstrated that the activity of the polymeric organocatalysts can be modulated by ion-specific effects via the combination of anion-specific salting-in/out effects and anion-specific polarization of hydrogen bonding induced stabilization of the transit...

Description
Summary:Like natural enzymatic systems, our study has demonstrated that the activity of the polymeric organocatalysts can be modulated by ion-specific effects via the combination of anion-specific salting-in/out effects and anion-specific polarization of hydrogen bonding induced stabilization of the transition state. The performance of polymeric organocatalysts can be modulated by ion-specific effects based on the lessons learned from natural enzymatic systems.
