Chemical Control of Supramolecular Copolymerization by Modulating the Chirality Transfer of Helical-Chiral Pillar[5]arenes

-helical basic and acidic P5A monomers. The polymerization can be accelerated by acidic or basic additives and suppressed by the addition of guest molecules. Because of the multiple helical-sense-matched ion-pairing interactions, the resulting supramolecular copolymer exhibited exceptional stability in polar solvents, at high temperatures, and in harsh environments.
