Unraveling the Complexity of Supramolecular Copolymerization Dictated by Triazine-Benzene Interactions.

ABSTRACT: Supramolecular copolymers formed by the noncovalent synthesis of multiple components expand the complexity of functional molecular systems. However, varying the composition and microstructure of copolymers through tuning the interactions between building blocks remains a challenge. Here, we report a remarkable discovery of the temperature-dependent supramolecular copolymerization of the two chiral monomers 4,4',4″-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)tribenzamide (S-T) and 4,4',4″-(benzene-1,3,5-triyl)tribenzamide (S-B). We first demonstrate in the homopolymerization of the two individual monomers that a subtle change from the central triazine to benzene in the chemical structure of the monomers significantly affects the properties of the resulting homopoly
