Supramolecular copolymerization driven by integrative self-sorting of hydrogen-bonded rosettes

Abstract

Unlike natural supramolecular polymers, artificial counterparts do not have molecular recognition processes to preorganize the supramolecular complexes before final assembly. Here, the authors show supramolecular copolymerization driven by integrative self-sorting of two different monomers into discrete six-membered supramolecular complexes (rosettes).
