Ian Manners Research Group

@lmlongaker @InorgChem Unfortunately, Ian passed away in 2023 and this work is performed by some of the remaining graduate students in his group. As described in the manuscript, terphenyl was sufficient to produce produce homopolymer whereas the mesityl group was not.

@MannersResearch @InorgChem How come you didn't even give yourself corresponding author on your own paper? Why did you choose to use a terphenyl instead of another R group?
