Paramagnetic, amphiphilic, biocompatible polymers were prepared comprising a carbonate repeat unit bearing a paramagnetic organic radical, more specifically a nitroxyl radical. The radical polymers can be produced in one step from a precursor polymer bearing an active ester side chain by treating the precursor polymer with a radical-bearing nucleophile. The precursor polymer can be prepared by organocatalyzed catalyzed ring opening polymerization (ROP) of a cyclic carbonate monomer bearing an active ester side chain. The radical polymers can be non-toxic and partially biodegradable. The radical polymers have utility as contrast enhancing agents in a medical imaging application and/or as therapeutic agents for treating a medical condition. The radical polymers can also serve as carriers for therapeutic agents (e.g., drugs) and/or medical image enhancing agents (e.g., NIRF dyes).

A one pot method of preparing cyclic carbonyl compounds comprising an active pendant pentafluorophenyl carbonate group is disclosed. The cyclic carbonyl compounds can be polymerized by ring opening methods to form ROP polymers comprising repeat units comprising a side chain pentafluorophenyl carbonate group. Using a suitable nucleophile, the pendant pentafluorophenyl carbonate group can be selectively transformed into a variety of other functional groups before or after the ring opening polymerization.

A composition of matter comprises a cationic polymer comprising a polycarbonate chain fragment, the polycarbonate chain fragment comprising a repeat unit comprising a side chain moiety containing a quaternary amine group; and a non-charged polymer comprising a polyester chain segment and a poly(alkylene oxide) chain segment; wherein i) the cationic polymer and the non-charged polymer are amphiphilic and biocompatible, ii) the cationic polymer and the non-charged polymer form a mixed complex by non-covalent interactions in water, and iii) the mixed complex is a more effective antimicrobial agent against at least a Gram-negative microbe compared to the cationic polymer and the non-charged polymer alone when tested using otherwise identical conditions.
