Pillar[5]arene-based polymeric architectures constructed by orthogonal supramolecular interactions

Ureidopyrimidinone functionalized pillar[5]arene (UPyP5) was synthesized and employed to complex with a bisparaquat derivative (G) to form supramolecular polymers at relatively high concentration. The orthogonal binding interactions including quadruple hydrogen bonding and host-guest interaction should play vital roles in the construction of this linear assembly.
