Synthesis and Characterization of Dendronized Polymers

Summary: This research aims at the synthesis of several dendrons with different functional groups on their surface, and their use as functionalizing agents of synthetic polymers. Two principal products were synthesized and characterized: dendronized MDI oligomers and dendronized PMMI. The results of the characterization studies of dendronized polymers demonstrated the influence of the polarity of dendrons and the dendronization pathway on the properties of the final products.     

Synthesis of cyclic dendronized polymers via divergent "graft-from" and convergent click "graft-to" routes: preparation of modular toroidal macromolecules

Cyclic dendronized polymers represent a new class of polymers which exhibit a donut-like "toroidal" shape. Two previous unreported methods for preparing this architecture, the divergent "graft-from" and the convergent click "graft-to" approaches, are explored and the resulting products fully characterized. This route is particularly attractive because it enables production of exact linear and cyclic dendronized analogues, enabling direct comparison of their physical properties. In this preliminary work, the divergent "graft from" approach appears to lead to materials with broad PDI at high DP, whereas the "graft to" approach yields more well-defined dendronized cyclic polymers at larger DP. On the basis of reports to date, a combination of click cyclization followed by click "grafting to" provides the most versatile route for the synthesis of cyclic dendronized polymers.     

Template-Free Self-Assembly of Two-Dimensional Polymers into Nano/Microstructured Materials

In the past few decades, enormous efforts have been made to synthesize covalent polymer nano/microstructured materials with specific morphologies, due to the relationship between their structures and functions. Up to now, the formation of most of these structures often requires either templates or preorganization in order to construct a specific structure before, and then the subsequent removal of previous templates to form a desired structure, on account of the lack of “self-error-correcting” properties of reversible interactions in polymers. The above processes are time-consuming and tedious. A template-free, self-assembled strategy as a “bottom-up” route to fabricate well-defined nano/microstructures remains a challenge. Herein, we introduce the recent progress in template-free, self-assembled nano/microstructures formed by covalent two-dimensional (2D) polymers, such as polymer capsules, polymer films, polymer tubes and polymer rings.     

Synthesis and Optical Properties of Dendronized Porphyrin Polymers

Summary: A novel kind of dendronized porphyrin polymers was synthesized by Sonogashira coupling of diethynyl‐functionalized porphyrin monomers and diiodo‐functionalized macromonomers bearing Fréchet‐type dendrons. The encapsulation of red‐light‐emitting porphyrin‐containing conjugated backbones into dendronized polymers can not only reduce the aggregation of polymer backbones and the self‐quenching of their fluorescence but also endow the porphyrin polymers with good solubility. We also report the optical and electrochemical properties of the porphyrin‐containing dendronized polymers.

Nanomechanical function from self-organizable dendronized helical polyphenylacetylenes

Self-organizable dendronized helical polymers provide a suitable architecture for constructing molecular nanomachines capable of expressing their motions at macroscopic length scales. Nanomechanical function is demonstrated by a library of self-organized helical dendronized cis-transoidal polyphenylacetylenes ( cis-PPAs) that possess a first-order phase transition from a hexagonal columnar lattice with internal order (varphi h (io)) to a hexagonal columnar liquid crystal phase (varphi h). These polymers can function as nanomechanical actuators. When extruded as fibers, the self-organizable dendronized helical cis-PPAs form oriented bundles. Such fibers have been shown capable of work by displacing objects up to 250-times their mass. The helical cis-PPA backbone undergoes reversible extension and contraction on a single molecule length scale resulting from cisoid-to-transoid conformational isomerization of the cis-PPA. Furthermore, we clarify supramolecular structural properties necessary for the observed nanomechanical function.
