Self-Sorting Organization of Two Heteroditopic Monomers to Supramolecular Alternating Copolymers

Abstract

Self-sorting organization of two AB-type heteroditopic monomers led to the formation of linear supramolecular alternating copolymers driven by host-guest noncovalent interactions based on the bis(p-phenylene)-34-crown-10/paraquat derivative and dibenzo-24-crown-8/dibenzylammonium salt recognition motifs as confirmed by 1H NMR, cyclic voltammetry, dynamic light scattering, viscosity measurements, and scanning electron microscopy.
