Self-sorting organization of two heteroditopic monomers to supramolecular alternating copolymers

Self-sorting organization of two AB-type heteroditopic monomers led to the formation of linear supramolecular alternating copolymers driven by host-guest noncovalent interactions based on the bis(p-phenylene)-34-crown-10/paraquat derivative and dibenzo-24-crown-8/dibenzylammonium salt recognition motifs as confirmed by H-1 NMR, cyclic voltammetry, dynamic light scattering, viscosity measurements, and scanning electron microscopy.
