obtained on Bruker
AV 500 and DRX 500 MHz spectrometers. 1H NMR spectra were
acquired with a relaxation delay of 2 s for small molecules and 30
s for polymers. UV–vis spectroscopy was performed using a Biomate
5 Thermo Spectronic spectrometer or Thermo Scientific NanoDrop 2000
(for small quantities). ESI-MS data were gathered on a Waters LCT
premier with ACQUITY LC. Infrared absorption spectra were recorded
using a PerkinElmer FT-IR equipped with an ATR accessory. Photoreactions
were carried out in a photochemical safety cabinet equipped with a
broadband, medium pressure Ace-Hanocia 7825–34 quartz mercury
arc lamp and ACE Glass Inc. power supply. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization
time-of-flight mass (MALDI-TOF MS) spectrometry data was gathered
using sinapic acid (SA) as a matrix on an Applied Biosystems Voyager-DE-STR
spectrometer.
