Claim:
A composition, comprising: a first cyclic carbonyl compound of the general formula (2): wherein each Y is a divalent radical independently selected from the group consisting of —O —, —S—, —N(H)—, and —N(Q″)-, wherein each Q″ is a monovalent radical independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups comprising 1 to 30 carbons, aryl groups comprising 6 to 30 carbons, and the members of the foregoing alkyl and aryl groups substituted with a pentafluorophenyl carbonate group, n′ is 0 or an integer from 1 to 10, wherein when n′ is 0, carbons labeled 4 and 6 are linked together by a single bond, each Q′ is a monovalent radical independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halides, pentafluorophenyl carbonate group, alkyl groups comprising 1 to 30 carbons, alkene groups comprising 1 to 30 carbons, alkyne groups comprising 1 to 30 carbons, aryl groups comprising 6 to 30 carbons, ester groups comprising 1 to 30 carbons, amide groups comprising 1 to 30 carbons, thioester groups comprising 1 to 30 carbons, urea groups comprising 1 to 30 carbons, carbamate groups comprising 1 to 30 carbons, ether groups comprising 1 to 30 carbons, alkoxy groups comprising 1 to 30 carbons, and the members of the foregoing alkyl, alkene, alkyne, aryl, ester, amide, thioester, urea, carbamate, ether, and alkoxy groups substituted with a pentafluorophenyl carbonate group, and wherein one or more Q′ and/or Q″ comprises a pentafluorophenyl carbonate group.
