Abstract
A well-defined poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) 1 incorporating at one termini a cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) (CBPQT4+) recognition unit is prepared via a RAFT polymerization followed by a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). 1H NMR (1D, DOSY), UV–vis and ITC experiments reveal that polymer 1 is able of forming effective host–guest complexes with tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) end-functionalized polymers in water, thereby leading to the formation of non-covalently-linked double-hydrophilic block copolymers. The effect of the temperature on both the LCST phase transition of 1 and its complexes and on CBPQT4+/TTF host–guest interactions is investigated.
