Aqueous Supramolecular Polymer Formed from an Amphiphilic Perylene Derivative

摘要

Supramolecular polymers are reversible one-dimensional assemblies that are formed by dynamic noncovalent intermolecular interactions. With the exception of biological systems, such self-assemblies are mostly formed in organic and nonpolar solvents and rely on hydrogen-bonding or metalligand interactions. Interesting material properties have been demonstrated in the case of specific monomers, such as ureidopyrimidones and bisureas, which can selforganize in very long chains.
