Abstract

Supramolecular polymerization, that is, the self-assembly of polymer-like materials through the utilization of the noncovalent bond, has been a developing area of research over the last decade. In this article, we report the synthesis of nucleobaseterminated (N⁶-anisoyl-adenine and thymine) low-molecular-weight poly(tetrahydrofuran) macromonomers (-1). The adenine-derived supramolecular telechelic polymer self-assembled in the solid state to yield materials with film- and fiber-forming capabilities. This material was thermally reversible and exhibited a ceiling temperature, above which a drop in viscosity was observed and fibers could no longer be obtained.
