Iterative step-growth synthesis and degradation of unimolecular polyviologens under mild conditions

Abigail O Delawder et al. Chem Commun (Camb). .

Abstract

An iterative step-growth addition method was used to expedite the gram-scale synthesis of main-chain polyviologens by several days, while also producing the longest main-chain polyviologen (i.e., 26 viologen subunits) reported to date. Facile degradation using inorganic and organic aqueous bases was also demonstrated for a representative oligoviologen (6V-Me·12Cl), a polyviologen (26V-Me·52Cl), and oligoviologen-crosslinked hydrogels.
