title: Olefin metathesis of the aligned assemblies of conjugated polymers constructed through supramolecular bundling.
abstract: The ordered structures constructed from an aligner molecule 1o and conjugated polymers (CPs) were efficiently converted into the poly-pseudo-rotaxane structures by the template-assisted ring-closing olefin metathesis (RCM) of olefinic groups at the peripheral positions of 1o. Moreover, the poly-pseudo-rotaxane structures permitted the separation of the crystalline ordered assemblies of CP by size exclusion chromatography and the preservation of the sheet morphologies after the treatment with trifluoroacetic acid. The morphologies and the periodicities of assemblies were also maintained after the retrieving treatments.
