This letter describes an efficient tandem non-polymerization strategy to deliver higher order N-acrylamide oligomers. These oligomers, accessible in an one-pot procedure, are potential intermediates for the correlation of stereochemistry (tacticity) with conformation and hydrogen bonding propensities in poly (oligo) N-acrylamides.

A new class of 1,3,5-triazine-based quadruple hydrogen-bonded system featuring AADD-type self-complementary arrays has been developed and characterized. This system forms highly stable molecular duplex in non-polar solvent (K-dim \> 1.9 x 10(7) M-1 in CDCl3) without prototropy-related issues, raising its prospects for application in supramolecular polymer science.

Metal-Organic Frameworks(MOFs) synthesized from ligands more than ten co-ordinating sites may offer material applications due to their structural architecture. Herein, a synthesis of metal-organic framework is reported from a ligand featuring 12-aryl carboxylic acid groups appended on a hexaphenylbenzene and s-block element potassium. The synthesized MOF was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy and X-diffraction studies. The X-ray crystal structure of MOF was shown to have a significant number of trapped and coordinated water molecules in its three-dimensional framework.

Host-guest chemistry is a functional model in supramolecular chemistry for understanding specific process occurring in biological systems. Herein, we describe a rationally designed giant multiarmed hexaphenylbenzene (HPB)-based supramolecular frameworks which encapsulate a variety of guest molecules in the voids of their crystal lattice through the cooperative interplay of multivalency, noncovalent forces and backbone rigidity. In this connection, pseudo-axially substituted twelve-armed hexaphenylbenzene was synthesized and its molecular entrapping nature was studied by varying number of H-bond donor-acceptor sites in the arms. The per-methyl esterified HPB acted as a cavitand to include nonpolar and polar aprotic guests in its crystal structure via C-H center dot center dot center dot pi, C-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot N interactions. The corresponding amidated HPB showed unprecedented inclusion of ammonia and segregation of the guest molecules according to their polarity in the lattice. Furthermore, this molecular entrapping system has been used to obtain the crystal structure of a hitherto unproven 2-azaallenium intermediate, which had been proposed to be involved in aminomethylation of activated arenes.

This communication reports on the utility of a triazine-based self-assembling system, reminiscent of a Janus G-C nucleobase, as a building block for developing (1) supramolecular polymers, (2) peptide nucleic acids (PNAs), and (3) smart polymers. The strategically positioned self-complementary triple H-bonding arrays DDA and AAD facilitate efficient self-assembly, leading to a linear supramolecular polymer.
