Formation of Linear Side‐Chain Polypseudorotaxane with Supramolecular Polymer Backbone through Neutral Halogen Bonds and Pillar[5]arene‐Based Host–Guest Interactions

Abstract

Linear side-chain polypseudorotaxane with supramolecular polymer backbone was assembled by neutral halogen bonds (XB) and pillar[5]arene-based host-guest interactions in solution and in the solid state. The formation of the halogen-bonded supramolecular polymer backbone and side-chain polypseudorotaxane in solution was characterized by ¹ H NMR spectroscopy, diffusion ordered NMR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy experiments. Furthermore, the solid-state structures of these two highly organized supramolecular architectures were provided by single-crystal X-ray analysis.
