For the first time, the effectiveness of triazolinedione (TAD) click chemistry onto aliphatic polycarbonates (APC) is demonstrated. Statistic copolymers carrying click-reactive conjugated diene (in a ratio of 10%) are synthesized via organocatalyzed ring-opening polymerization. The highly efficient click reaction of TADs carrying simple butyl and phenyl functions are confirmed by H-NMR and DSC. Network formation using a bivalent TAD is also performed and simply characterized by DSC. This post-polymerization functionalization of biocompatible and biodegradable APC pave the way to easy and versatile "on-demand" materials design.

Thermosetting plastics exhibit remarkable mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance, yet the permanent covalent crosslinked network renders these materials challenging for reshaping and recycling. In this study, a high-performance polymer film (EI-TAD-Mg) was synthesized by combining click chemistry and cation-π interactions. The internal network of the material was selectively constructed through flexible triazolinedione (TAD) and indole via a click reaction.

Force-reversible C-N bonds, resulting from the click chemistry reaction between triazolinedione (TAD) and indole derivatives, offer exciting opportunities for molecular-level engineering to design materials that respond to mechanical loads. Here, we displayed that TAD-indole adducts, acting as crosslink points in dry-state covalently crosslinked polymers, enable materials to display reversible stress-responsiveness in real time already at ambient temperature. Whereas the exergonic TAD-indole reaction results in the formation of bench-stable adducts, they were shown to dissociate at ambient temperature when embedded in a polymer network and subjected to a stretching force to recover the original products.

Labelling of tyrosine residues in peptides and proteins has been reported to selectively occur a 'tyrosine-click' reaction with triazolinedione reagents (TAD). However, we here demonstrate that TAD reagents are actually not selective for tyrosine and that tryptophan residues are in fact also labelled with these reagents. This off-target labelling remained under the radar as it is challenging to detect these physiologically stable but thermally labile modifications with the commonly used HCD and CID MS/MS techniques.

The systematics of the African frog family Hyperoliidae has undergone turbulent changes in last decades. Representatives of several genera have not been genetically investigated or with only limited data, and their phylogenetic positions are thus still not reliably known. This is the case of the De Witte's Clicking Frog (Kassinula wittei) which belongs to a monotypic genus.
