Compounds comprising a cyclic molecule and an axial molecule, interlocked rotaxanes, polymers containing interlocked rotaxanes, and methods for producing the same.

Abstract

To provide a polymer containing [c2]daisy-chain rotaxane with superior compression resistance, a compound therefor where a novel cyclic molecule has been fused with an axial molecule, and [c2]daisy-chain rotaxane.SOLUTION: By utilizing a thiol-ene reaction between [c2]daisy-chain rotaxane containing a compound where a cyclic molecule with a double bond introduced at the end of an axial molecule has been fused with the axial molecule, and a crosslinker containing a thiol group at the end, a polymer containing the [c2]daisy-chain rotaxane is synthesized, thereby forming a gel-like solid of a network polymer with compression resistance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
