Pressure induced topochemical polymerization of solid acrylamide facilitated by anisotropic response of the hydrogen bond network

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2021, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D0CP04993J, PaperSayan Maity, Abhijeet S. Gangan, Ashwini Anshu, Rashid Rafeek V. Valappil, Brahmananda Chakraborty, Lavanya M. Ramaniah, Varadharajan Srinivasan Our first-principles studies reveal the mechanism of pressure-induced polymerization in solid acrylamide. Pressure not only drives a topochemical mechanism but also lowers the polymerization barrier at room temperature.
