Journal ArticleDOI
Self-assembly of taper-shaped monoesters of oligo(ethylene oxide) with 3,4,5-tris(n-dodecan-1-yloxy)benzoic acid and of their polymethacrylates into tubular supramolecular architectures displaying a columnar hexagonal mesophase
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of the monoesters of oligo(ethylene oxide) and octane-1,8-diol with 3,4,5-tris(n-alkan-1-yloxy)benzoic acids and their corresponding polymethacrylates is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dramatic acceleration of SET-LRP of methyl acrylate during catalysis with activated Cu(0) wire
Nga H. Nguyen,Virgil Percec +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple method for the activation of the Cu(0) wire used as catalyst in singleelectron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Assembly of Dendronized Triphenylenes into Helical Pyramidal Columns and Chiral Spheres
Virgil Percec,Mohammad R. Imam,Mihai Peterca,Daniela A. Wilson,Robert Graf,Hans Wolfgang Spiess,Venkatachalapathy S. K. Balagurusamy,Paul A. Heiney +7 more
TL;DR: The synthesis and structural and retrostructural analyses of a library containing 10 triphenylenes functionalized with self-assembling benzyl ether and phenyl propyl ether dendrons are reported, finding that the self-assembly process of the dendronized triphenylene donor can be programmed by a new supramolecular "polymer effect" generated by donor-acceptor interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the structure of supramolecular dendrimers via the analysis of libraries of AB3 and constitutional isomeric AB2 biphenylpropyl ether self-assembling dendrons.

TL;DR: The comparative analysis of libraries of biphenylpropyl ether dendrons with the previously reported libraries of benzyl-, phenylPropyl-, and bipenyl-4-methyl ether d endrons demonstrated biomimetic self-assembly wherein the primary structure of the dendron and to a lesser extent the structure of its repeat unit determines the supramolecular tertiary structure.
