Programmable Supramolecular Polymerizations

Abstract

Living large: Rational design of self-assembly pathways has been demonstrated in supramolecular polymers. By controlling the concentration of an aggregation-competent monomer through intramolecular interactions, living supramolecular polymerization conditions were achieved. This universal approach can be used to obtain aggregates of well-defined length and narrow dispersity, and allows access to new supramolecular polymer architectures.

Keywords: kinetics; noncovalent interactions; polymerization; self-assembly; supramolecular chemistry.
