Polypseudorotaxanes constructed from pillar[5]arenes and polyamides by interfacial polymerization

Polypseudorotaxanes constructed from pillar[5]arene rings and polyamide chains were successfully synthesized by interfacial polymerization between diamines and dicarbonyl chlorides in the presence of pillar[5]arene. The dicarbonyl chloride length and the assocation constants of dicarbonyl chloride-pillar[5]arene complexes were important factors in producing polypseudorotaxanes with high cover ratio of pillar[5]arene rings.
