Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on creating specific oligomers of alkyl-bridged naphthalenediimides (NDIs) and examining their structures in different environments, like bulk, solution, and at interfaces.
  • - Researchers used a method to link multiple NDI cores with various alkyl-diamines, revealing strong intermolecular interactions through photophysical property analysis.
  • - Findings suggest that both the chemical structure and the conditions of crystallization are crucial for achieving orderly nanoscale arrangements, with long unsaturated chains typically resulting in folded structures and saturated chains leading to stretched configurations.

The synthesis and supramolecular polymerization of a ureidopyrimidinone-based Sauvage-type [2]catenane is reported. The monomer synthesis explores many routes using the elegant metathesis catalysts of Bob Grubbs, yielding a catenane with one ureidopyrimidinone in each cycle. The supramolecular polymer obtained features both mechanical bonds and quadruple hydrogen bonding connections.
