Reversible 2D pseudopolyrotaxanes based on cyclodextrins and cucurbit[6]uril.
In this paper, a pseudorotaxane (2) was synthesized by reaction of cucurbit [6]uril with 6-[(6-aminohexyl)amino]-6-deoxy-beta-cyclodextrin chloride. Subsequently, pseudorotaxanes 2 were further assembled to form a 2D pseudopolyrotaxane (3) through an alpha,omega-PPG2000 diamino polymer threading the cavities of cyclodextrins in 2, and the resulting pseudopolyrotaxane was comprehensively characterized by FT-IR, NMR, TG-DTA, elemental analysis, and transmission electron microscopy. Significantly, the 2D pseudopolyrotaxane can turn into a main-chain pseudopolyrotaxane in the presence of base, and then the addition of alpha-cyclodextrins may result in a reversible switch between two different 2D pseudopolyrotaxanes.
