A set of linear and cyclic oligomers were synthesized starting from a suitable azido-alkyne monomer through click oligomerization. The synthesis of these monomers starting from bromobenzene features an enzymatic dihydroxylation and the regio- and stereoselective installation of the azide and alkyne functionalities. Optimization of the click reaction was accomplished using dimerization as the model reaction. The product distribution of the oligomerization could be modulated by the monomer concentration and the use of additives, generating mainly cyclic oligomers consisting of tetramers, pentamers and hexamers.

D056831	Coordination Complexes	Neutral or negatively charged ligands bonded to metal cations or neutral atoms. The number of ligand atoms to which the metal center is directly bonded is the metal cation's coordination number, and this number is always greater than the regular valence or oxidation number of the metal. A coordination complex can be negative, neutral, or positively charged.	Metal Complexes,Complexes, Coordination,Complexes, Metal
D057930	Click Chemistry	Organic chemistry methodology that mimics the modular nature of various biosynthetic processes. It uses highly reliable and selective reactions designed to "click" i.e., rapidly join small modular units together in high yield, without offensive byproducts. In combination with COMBINATORIAL CHEMISTRY TECHNIQUES, it is used for the synthesis of new compounds and combinatorial libraries.
