• groups. The structures of the intermediate compounds were confirmed by IR, GCMS and 31P NMR. The final compound was characterized by 1H, 13C, 31P NMR, MALDI-TOF MS and CHN analysis. Scanning electron microscopic and thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetric studies were also performed

• product of dimerization though. Only oligomers 8 were observed in this case (for details see Supporting Information File 1). At first, it was unclear whether 7a was formed by an intramolecular cyclization or a dimerization of 4a since its concentration-dependent ESI-MS and MALDI-TOF-MS spectra both showed
