Graphical Abstract

Die Natur als Vorbild: Die Bildung spezifischer Wasserstoffbrücken, eine wesentliche Grundlage für Prozesse in lebenden Organismen, lässt sich im Grenzgebiet von supramolekularer Chemie und homogener Katalyse gezielt einsetzen, so bei der Synthese neuartiger Elastomere (siehe schematische Darstellung), deren Eigenschaften auf starken intermolekularen Wasserstoffbrücken beruhen.
