SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OFSELF-ASSEMBLY BUILDING BLOCK CONTAINING PORPHYRIN RING AND BULKY BPOSS NANOPARTICLES

Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science, University of Akron, Polymer Science.
A series of precisely defined A-Cn -4B type shape amphiphilic giant molecule has been designed and synthesized by connecting one porphyrin as a core with four hydrophobic T8 polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (BPOSS that represent all isobutyl groups functionalized POSS) via alkyl chain(n= 0,1,10). Here, porphyrin can afford powerful pi- pi interaction, meanwhile variation of the length linker such as zero, one, ten carbon atoms offering mobility during self-assembling, and furthermore bulky BPOSS nanoparticles could form the periphery of the giant molecule to introduce steric hinderer and hydrophobic interactions. With synergistic interactions from porphyrin, different linker length and bulky POSS nanoparticles, various supramolecular structures are expected to be formed. Here, shape amphiphilic giant molecules are designed and synthesized, to research on the influence of the linker length on the final supramolecular structures and the corresponding formation mechanism to form Frank-Kasper phases
