Faculty Opinions recommendation of Ribose 2'-F labeling: a simple tool for the characterization of RNA secondary structure equilibria by 19F NMR spectroscopy.
The capping of “living” poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and “living” polystyrene (PS), both prepared by the RAFT technique, with various olefins was screened using 19F-NMR spectroscopy. The capping of “living” PMMA with a labeled stilbene was as high as 63% and with certain cinnamate esters was essentially quantitative, but the capping of “living” polystyrene with all the olefins investigated was generally poor.
