Website abstract bibtex CONSPECTUS: Owing to the mastery exhibited by Nature in integrating both
covalent and noncovalent interactions in a highly efficient manner, the
quest to construct polymeric systems that rival not only the precision
and fidelity but also the structure of natural systems has remained a
daunting challenge. Supramolecular chemists have long endeavored to
control the interplay between covalent and noncovalent bond formation,
so as to examine and fully comprehend how function is predicated on
self-assembly. The ability to reliably control polymer self-assembly is
essential to generate ``smart'' materials and has the potential to
tailor polymer properties (i.e., viscosity, electronic properties)
through fine-tuning the noncovalent interactions that comprise the
polymer architecture. In this context, supramolecular polymers have a
distinct advantage over fully covalent systems in that they are
dynamically modular, since noncovalent recognition motifs can be
engineered to either impart a desired functionality within the overall
architecture or provide a designed bias for the self-assembly process.
In this Account, we describe engineering principles being developed and
pursued by our group that exploit the orthogonal nature of noncovalent
interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, and
Coulombic interactions, to direct the self-assembly of functionalized
macromolecules, resulting in the formation of supramolecular polymers.
To begin, we describe our efforts to fabricate a modular
poly(norbornene)-based scaffold via ring-opening metathesis
polymerization (ROMP), wherein pendant molecular recognition elements
based upon nudeobase-mimicking elements (e.g., thymine, diaminotriazine)
or SCS-Pd-II pincer were integrated within covalent monofunctional or
symmetrically functionalized polymers. The simple polymer backbones
exhibited reliable self-assembly with complementary polymers or small
molecules. Within these systems, we applied successful protecting group
strategies and template polymerizations to enhance the control afforded
by ROMP. Main-chain-functionalized alternating block polymers based upon
SCS-Pd-II pincer-pyridine motifs were achieved through the combined
exploitation of bimetallic initiators and supramolecularly
functionalized terminators. Our initial design principles led to the
successful fabrication of both main-chain- and side-chain-functionalized
poly(norbornenes) via ROMP.
Utilizing all of these techniques in concert led to engineering
orthogonality while achieving complexity through the installation of
multiple supramolecular motifs within the side chain, main chain, or
both in our polymer systems. The exploitation and modification of design
principles based upon functional ROMP initiators and terminators has
resulted in the first synthesis of main-chain heterotelechelic polymers
that self-assemble into A/B/C supramolecular triblock polymers composed
of orthogonal cyanuric acid-Hamilton wedge and SCS-Pd-II pincer-pyridine
motifs. Furthermore, supramolecular A/B/A triblock copolymers were
realized through the amalgamation of functionalized monomers, ROMP
initiators, and terminators. To date, this ROMP-fabricated system
represents the only known method to afford polymer main chains and side
chains studded with orthogonal motifs. We end by discussing the impetus
to attain functional materials via orthogonal self-assembly.
Collectively, our studies suggest that combining covalent and
noncovalent bonds in a well-defined and precise manner is an essential
design element to achieve complex architectures. The results discussed
in this Account illustrate the finesse associated with engineering
orthogonal interactions within supramolecular systems and are considered
essential steps toward developing complex biomimetic materials with high
precision and fidelity.
