超分子ポリマーの設計と構築

抄録

Although helical supramolecular polymers play important roles in biological systems, such as virus, microtubules, and microfilaments, there are few helical synthetic supramolecular polymers formed by host-guest systems. Now we found that 3-4-t-Boc-cinnamoylamino-α-cyclodextrin (3-4BocCiNH-α-CD) formed a supramolecular polymer in an aqueous solution. The supramolecular polymer was found to take a helical structure. This is the first example of the formation of a helical supramolecular polymer formed by host-guest interactions. In addition, we found that an α-CD derivative and a β-CD derivative formed alternating copolymers in aqueous solutions.
