Hydrogen-bonded macrocycle-mediated dimerization for orthogonal supramolecular polymerization by Wentao Yu, Zhiyao Yang, Chengkan Yu, Xiaowei Li, Lihua Yuan

“…The macrocycle-mediated connectivity was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which revealed a unique 2:2 binding motif between host and guest, bridged by two cationic pyridinium end groups through π-stacking interactions and other cooperative intermolecular forces. Zinc ion-induced coordination with the macrocycle and a terpyridinium derivative enabled orthogonal polymerization, as revealed by 1H NMR, DLS, and TEM techniques. …”
