Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since its discovery, the phosphorus atom has received a great deal of attention in science due its chemical and physical characteristics, including its availability in different oxidation states and coordination numbers. A wide variety P-C and P-heteroatoms compounds can be synthesized due to the ability of phosphorus species to act as either a nucleophile or an electrophile, and such compounds are used as ligands in catalysis and coordination chemistry and drugs in medicinal chemistry, agrochemicals, and material science, etc. This Special Issue is focused on recent developments in the synthesis of organophosphorus macromolecules. In such polymers, phosphorus moieties are either an integral part of the main chain or incorporated as pendant groups. This Issue targets applications of novel organo-phosphorus polymers that find applications in diverse fields such as flame retardants in polymers, medical and dental applications, biomedical applications, energy, agriculture, drug delivery, etc.
