However, this route has not been used in the design of living supramolecular polymerisation
In the existing reports, there are studies on the use of macromolecule-small molecule systems to regulate the crystallization behavior of small molecules, for example, the use of hydrogen bonds between macromolecules and small molecules to regulate the crystallization of small mo...

preparation example Construction

[0092] In some cases, the preparation method of the present invention further includes a step of constructing aligned metal nanoparticles or nanowires using the formed supramolecular polymer as a precursor.

[0093] The supramolecular polymerization method in the present invention generally comprises at least two components: a planar or linear solvent-repellent small molecule component and a solvent-friendly polymer component. In embodiments performed in aqueous solution, the planar or linear small molecule components are hydrophobic and the polymer components are hydrophilic. Non-covalent interactions between small molecules include but are not limited to metal-metal interactions, π-π interactions, hydrogen bonds, solvent-phobic interactions, or combinations thereof, and supramolecular polymerization is induced by non-covalent interactions between small molecules to promote the growth of supramolecular polymers. The polymer components act to stabilize the formed supramolecul...

[0228] Compound 1 (0.15mM) and PEG 45- b-PAA 69 (The subscript represents the degree of polymerization of each block, and the concentration of carboxylic acid is 1 mM). After mixing in an aqueous solution, and incubating at room temperature for 1 day, a supramolecular polymer can be obtained. The pH of the mixed solution was 5, the PAA block was negatively charged due to partial carboxyl deprotonation, and there was an electrostatic attraction between the positively charged complex 1 and PAA.

[0233] Example 2. Complex 1 and PEG 45 -b-PAA 69 Research on the process of two-component supramolecular polymerization (see No. 1 in Table 1)

[0234] Transmission electron microscope observation found that complex 1 and PEG 45 -b-PAA 69 Aggregates with a size of about 10 nm ( Figure 13 ). After incubation at room temperature for 1 hour, nanofibers were formed, and the average diameter of the nanofibers was 10 nm, and the average length was 440 nm ( Figure 14 ). After 12 hours, the length of the nanofibers grew to the micrometer level ( Figure 15 ). After 1 day of cultivation, the average diameter of the nanofibers was still 10 nm, and the length was several microns ( Figure 10 ). The length of the nanofibers increased with incubation time, but the average diameter remained constant. In view of the fact that nanofibers have a nanocrystal structure in which complexes are arranged in an orderly manner, the two-component supramolecular polymerization of complexes a...

Abstract

The invention provides a supramolecular polymer with an active characteristic. The supramolecular polymer is prepared by the polymerization of two-component supramolecules consisting of planar or linear small-molecular components and a polymer component. The small-molecular components are solvophobic, and can be connected with each other through non-covalent interactions such as metal-metal action, pi-pi action, hydrogen bonds, mutual interaction of solvophobic agents (hydrophobicity), and the like under the regulation and control of the polymer component to form the supramolecular polymer. The polymer component is a hydrophilic solvent and is combined with the small-molecule components through non-covalent interactions such as electrostatic attraction and the like, so that an effect of stabilizing the supramolecular polymer is achieved. The chemical composition, the nanostructure and the size of the supramolecular polymer can be modulated through the chemical component of the small-molecular components, the chemical component and structural parameters of the polymer, the formula, the interaction between the small-molecular components and the polymer component, and the like. The formed two-component or multi-component supramolecular polymer has active terminals, and the newly added planar or linear small-molecular components can continue growing at the active terminals. The invention also provides a method for the polymerization of active supramolecules of a two-component or multi-component system.
