| Abstract: | The inclusion complex formation of α-CD, β-CD, and γ-CD with various water-soluble polymers has beeninvestigated, and the relationship between the chain cross-sectional areas of the polymers and the diameters of the cavities ofcyclodextrins (molecular recognition) was found. Polyrotaxanes and tubular polymers were prepared on the basis ofmolecular recognition. Several kinds of polymers having tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and paramagnetic metallotetraphenyl-prophyrin (AgTTP,CuTPP,VOTPP or ZnTPP) have been prepared by radical polymerization of the corresponding monomers.Visible spectra of these polymers show hypochromism in the Soret bands of TPP moieties as compared with those of monomers.Polymer effects were observed in the magnetic behavior and oxygen adsorption of paramagnetic metallotetraphenylporphyrin moieties.Moreover,polymer effects on photophysical and photophysical and photochemical behavior were found in the amphiphilic polymers covalently tethered with small amounts of zinc(II)-tetraphenylporphyrin(ZnTPP). |
