Cyclobutane-linked nanothreads through thermal and photochemically mediated polymerization of cyclohexadiene

Abstract

We present the pressure-induced polymerization of 1,4-cyclohexadiene, wherein thermal methods may access multiple reaction pathways. In contrast, light enables solely cyclobutane-based nanothreads to arise from a single viable reaction pathway.
