Abstract
A new generation of soluble phenothiazinyl merocyanine substituted polyacetylenes can be readily synthesized by rhodium-catalyzed polymerization of the corresponding 3-ethynyl phenothiazines, accessible by Sonogashira coupling and Knoevenagel condensation. UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy of 7-acceptor-substituted phenothiazinyl polyacetylenes reveal that these polyacetylenes with conjugatively ligated merocyanines are luminescent in solution with positive emission solvatochromism and, in some cases, with distinct solid-state luminescence.

Unraveling Dynamic Helicity Inversion and Chirality Transfer through the Synthesis of Discrete Azobenzene Oligomers by an Iterative Exponential Growth Strategy. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023:e202315686.

Abstract
Unraveling the chirality transfer mechanism of polymer assemblies and controlling their handedness is beneficial for exploring the origin of hierarchical chirality and developing smart materials with desired chiroptical activities. However, polydisperse polymers often lead to an ambiguous or statistical evaluation of the structure-property relationship, and it remains unclear how the iterative number of repeating units function in the helicity inversion of polymer assemblies. Herein, we report the macroscopic helicity and dynamic manipulation of the chiroptical activity of supramolecular assemblies from discrete azobenzene-containing oligomers (azooligomers), together with the helicity inversion and morphological transition achieved solely by changing the iterative chain lengths. The corresponding assemblies also differ from their polydisperse counterparts in terms of thermodynamic properties, chiroptical activities, and morphological control.

Synthesis of optically active star polymers consisting of helical poly(phenylacetylene) chains by the living polymerization of phenylacetylenes and their chiroptical properties. RSC Adv 2023; 13:30978-30984. [PMID: 37876657 PMCID: PMC10591293 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra05971e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Star polymers consisting of three helical poly(phenylacetylene) chains with a precisely controlled molecular weight (molar mass dispersity < 1.03) were successfully synthesized by the living polymerization of phenylacetylene derivatives with a Rh-based multicomponent catalyst system comprising trifunctional initiators, which have three phenylboronates centered on a benzene ring, the Rh complex [Rh(nbd)Cl]2, diphenylacetylene, triphenylphosphine, and a base. The analysis of chiroptical properties of the optically active star polymers obtained by the living polymerization of optically active phenylacetylene derivatives revealed that the star polymers exhibited chiral amplification properties owing to their unique topology compared with the corresponding linear polymers.
