Abstract
In this work, a disulfide-bridged bispillar[5]arene (A 2 ) and tritopic neutral guest molecule (B 3 ) were synthesized and used to construct supramolecular hyperbranched polymers (SHPs) utilizing pillar[5]arene-based host-guest interactions. In particular, a supramolecular gel with interesting reversible gel-sol transition in response to a temperature change and redox owing to the dynamic host-guest complexation and the characteristics of the disulfide bond can be obtained via the self-assembly behavior of the SHPs under high concentration. Moreover, honeycomb-patterned films can be successfully prepared by utilizing the breath figure method.
