Responsive Supramolecular Gels Constructed by Crown Ether Based Molecular Recognition

Zhishen Ge, Jinming Hu, Feihe Huang, Shiyong Liu

Open publisher page 253 citations

Abstract

Responsive supramolecular gels were constructed from crown ether terminated four-arm star poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL-DB24C8) and dibenzylammonium-terminated two-arm PCL-DBAS (see scheme), exploiting the formation of pseudorotaxane linkages between crown ether and ammonium moieties. The resultant supramolecular gels exhibit thermo- and pH-induced reversible gel-sol transition.
