Long‐Lived Photocharges in Supramolecular Polymers of Low‐Band‐Gap Chromophores

Metallo-supramolecular cyclic polymers.

Cyclic brush polymers represent an exciting new macromolecular topology. For the first time, this new topology has been combined with metallo-supramolecular interactions to construct novel cyclic brush polymers. Here, ring-expansion metathesis polymerization was used to synthesize a universal cyclic template with a polynorbornene backbone, which was further modified with the metal-chelating syn...

Multiple Hydrogen-Bonded Supramolecular Polymers

Supramolecular Polymers with Orthogonal Functionality

Supramolecular Polymers with Orthogonal Functionality Report Title Supramolecular polymers with orthogonal interactions are of broad interest, and reports on such materials with multifunctional stimuli-responsive behavior are rare. Polymer blends based on a poly(ethylene-co-butylene) core (PEB) terminated with either 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPy) hydrogen-bonding motifs (UPy-PEB-UPy) or 2,6...

Supramolecular Assemblies of Cucurbiturils with Photoactive, π‐conjugated Chromophores

Supramolecular assemblies of cucurbituril (CBn) homologues with p-conjugated chromophores will be overviewed. Special emphasis will be given to the effect of CBn on the optical properties of conjugated oligomers and polymers. How supramolecular complexes of p-conjugated chromophores including porphyrin derivatives, conjugated oligomers and polymers with CBn could be utilized in the theranostic ...

Supramolecular polymers: Chain growth in control.

Supramolecular polymers are a class of materials characterized by a repetition of monomer units held together by non-covalent forces such as metal coordination, π–π interactions and hydrogen bonding1–4. Compared with their covalent counterparts the unique properties of these polymers have attracted considerable attention, for instance, the self-healing ability that arises from the thermodynamic...
