title: Formation of a copillar[5]arene-based supramolecular polymer in solution and in the solid state.
abstract: A linear supramolecular polymer based on the self-assembly of an easily available copillar[5]arene monomer is efficiently prepared, which is evidenced by the NMR spectroscopy, viscosity measurement, and DOSY experiment. The single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that the polymerization of the AB-type monomer is driven by the quadruple CH•••π interactions and one CH•••O interaction.
