Abstract

The self-assembly of internally ion-paired, neutral AA/BB-type supramolecular polymers composed of complementary di-ionizable homoditopic pairs of monomers is reported. Host-to-guest double-proton transfer mediates the recognition between bis-calix[5] arenedicarboxylic acids and a, w-diaminoalkanes to yield cyclic, doughnut-shaped assem-blies with morphologies (i.e., cyclic vs. linear) that can be controlled by means of external chemical stimuli. The behavior of these intriguing aggregates, both in solution and on surfaces, has been investigated by a combination of H-1 and DOSY NMR spectroscopy, light-scattering, and atomic force microscopy.
