Chiral supramolecular polymers consisting of planar-chiral pillar[5]arene enantiomers

Abstract

Supramolecular polymers with diverse chiralities were constructed by supramolecular polymerization of planar-chiral host–guest conjugates in pS and pR forms. Hetero-chiral supramolecular polymerization using a racemic mixture of host–guest conjugates with pS and pR forms afforded a supramolecular polymer with a larger hydrodynamic radius than that obtained through homo-chiral supramolecular polymerization of host–guest conjugates with either pS or pR forms alone.
