Abstract
We report the discovery of an acid-assisted de-tert-butylation reaction that can instantly “turn off” the dynamicity of hindered urea bonds (HUBs) and thus broaden their applications. The reaction is demonstrated to be widely applicable to different hindered urea substrates, leading to improved chemical stabilities and mechanical properties of HUB-containing materials.
