Abstract
Embodiments of a nanohoop-functionalized polymer and methods of making and using the same are described herein. In particular embodiments, the polymer comprises one or more nanohoops that extend from the polymer backbone. Also described are polymerizable nanohoop monomer embodiments that can be used to make the polymer embodiments.
Claims18
A compound having a structure according to Formula I
- wherein:
- each PFG independently is a polymerizable functional group comprising a bicyclic structure comprising at least one double bond;
- the optional linker is selected from aliphatic, heteroaliphatic, haloaliphatic, haloheteroaliphatic, aromatic, or an organic functional group;
- the nanohoop comprises six or more aromatic ring systems and wherein each aromatic ring is directly bound to at least two other rings of the nanohoop by two separate single covalent bonds positioned para, ortho, or meta relative to one another;
- and
- q is 1 or 2.
