Abstract:
The development of well-defined three-dimensional supramolecular polymers presents significant challenges, particularly in achieving crystalline state structures. This study addresses this challenge by presenting the construction of a crystalline three-dimensional supramolecular polymer through the self-assembly of clamparene (CLP) and a naphthalene diimide derivative (NDIOH) in the solid state. The hierarchical self-assembly progresses from one-dimensional linear supramolecular polymers to two-dimensional supramolecular polymers and ultimately to a crystalline three-dimensional supramolecular polymer. Moreover, the prepared crystalline three-dimensional supramolecular polymer demonstrates effective photothermal conversion. This work advances the understanding and design of functional three-dimensional supramolecular polymers in the crystalline state.

Crystalline domains are the regions where polymer chains are aligned in an orderly manner and held together in proximity by intermolecular forces. For example, chains in the crystalline domains of polyethylene and nylon are bound together by van der Waals...
