A reversible cross-linked polymer network based on conjugated polypseudorotaxanes†
Abstract
A supramolecular cross-linked conjugated polymer network was fabricated upon treatment of a π-conjugated polymer simultaneously bearing dibenzo[24]crown-8 and dibenzylamine groups with hexafluorophosphoric acid. After adding a slight excess of base, this network dissociated back to the original conjugated polymer, accompanying a reversible change in the fluorescence intensities.
