Improving the reactivity of phenylacetylene macrocycles toward topochemical polymerization by side chains modification
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis and self-assembly of two new phenylacetylene macrocycle (PAM) organogelators were performed. Polar 2-hydroxyethoxy side chains were incorporated in the inner part of the macrocycles to modify the assembly mode in the gel state. With this modification, it was possible to increase the reactivity of the macrocycles in the xerogel state to form polydiacetylenes (PDAs), leading to a significant enhancement of the polymerization yields. The organogels and the PDAs were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Soluble organic nanorods were prepared from phenylacetylene macrocycles using the topochemical polymerization of butadiyne moieties placed both inside and outside the macrocycles' skeletons. Macrocycles containing amide groups were self-assembled in a columnar fashion through the formation of an organogel in ethyl acetate. Upon irradiation with UV light, the Raman signals associated with butadi...
