  • Controllable Supramolecular Polymerization through Host-Guest Interaction and Photochemistry
    ACS Macro Letters, 2015
    Co-Authors: Liulin Yang, Yunhao Bai, Xinxin Tan, Zhiqiang Wang, Huaping Xu
    Abstract:

    A new method for controllable supramolecular polymerization based on ABBA type monomer and cucurbit[8]uril monomer through host−guest Interaction and photochemistry is reported. The molecular weight and polydispersity of supra-molecular polymers can be well controlled by tuning the molar ratio of these host and guest monomers or by tuning the isomer ratio of azobenzene groups in the guest monomers upon the competitive irradiation of lights. This research provides a general methodology for the control of supramolecular polymerization and the structure of supramolecular polymers. S upramolecular polymer chemistry has been an important interdisciplinary field that combines supramolecular chem-istry and polymer science. 1−10 With the development of this line of research, 11−30 the construction of supramolecular polymers is moving toward a controllable process for defined chain structures. 5,31−34 A well controlled supramolecular polymerization is undoubtedly beneficial to the study of structure−property relationships of supramolecular polymers, 35

  • Supramolecular polymers bearing disulfide bonds
    Polym. Chem., 2014
    Co-Authors: Hui Yang, Yunhao Bai, Banglu Yu, Zhiqiang Wang, Huaping Xu
    Abstract:

    This work is aimed to report a new type of multiple stimuli-responsive supramolecular polymers by combining dynamic covalent bonds with cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8])-based Host-Guest Interaction. Supramonomer (DSN) containing a disulfide bond can bind with CB[8] to fabricate supramolecular polymers by host-enhanced [small pi]-[small pi] Interaction. Additionally{,} the dynamic nature of disulfide bonds and Host-Guest chemistry endow these supramolecular polymers with redox and guest competitive responsiveness{,} respectively.

  • Supramolecular polymerization of supramonomers: a way for fabricating supramolecular polymers
    Polym. Chem., 2014
    Co-Authors: Qiao Song, Xinxin Tan, Liulin Yang, Zhiqiang Wang, Fei Li, Huaping Xu
    Abstract:

    This communication describes a new method of fabricating supramolecular polymers through supramolecular polymerization of supramonomers. To mix building blocks of Phe-Gly-Gly linked with an azobenzene group and cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) in a molar ratio of 2 : 1 in aqueous solutions{,} supramonomers were obtained by Host-Guest Interaction between tripeptide and CB[8]. Then supramolecular polymers were formed spontaneously by mixing the supramonomers with bis-[small beta]-cyclodextrins in a molar ratio of 1 : 1 in an aqueous solution through noncovalent Host-Guest complexation of the azobenzene group and [small beta]-cyclodextrin. Considering that various noncovalent Interactions can be used to drive the formation of supramonomers and the supramolecular polymerization of the supramonomers{,} this study can enrich the methodology of fabricating supramolecular polymers.

  • Cucurbit[8]uril-based supramolecular polymers: promoting supramolecular polymerization by metal-coordination.
    2013
    Co-Authors: Yiliu Liu, Xinxin Tan, Zehuan Huang, Zhiqiang Wang, Huaping Xu
    Abstract:

    Linear supramolecular polymers were obtained in aqueous solution by employing cucurbit[8]uril-based Host-Guest Interaction as the driving force. Water-soluble monomers were prepared through direct metal-coordination. The rigid and bulky terpyridine-Fe linker can effectively enhance the monomer's solubility and suppress its cyclization, thereby promoting supramolecular polymerization.
