Efficient Syntheses of Strong Binding Cryptands and their Derivatives for Supramolecular Polymer Synthesis

Production of efficiently synthesizable, strongly associating crown ether-based cryptands is desired for pseudorotaxane complexation of bipyridinium guests to produce suprapolymers and supramolecularly-linked block copolymers. Cryptands based on bis(meta-phenylene)-32-crown-10 (BMP32C10) were synth...
