“…The Barner-Kowollik group has taken advantage of the orthogonal H-bonding pairs cyanuric acid-Hamilton wedge 50 and thymine-diaminopyridine 52 to mimic polymer self-folding as observed in biomolecules. While many authors report proteinlike polymers that adopt secondary structures using BTA units, very few report control over the tertiary structure.…”

In this review we outline the various methods that have been explored to synthesize architecturally defined nanoparticles from discrete polymer chains, summarize the methods of characterization that are required to prove their formation and probe their morphology, and introduce a number of potential applications that are being explored currently. Given the small size of the nanostructures produced by these methods and the relative ease with which they can be tailored to specific end use applications it is likely such efforts will intensify in the coming years. So far, simple chemistry has been utilized and high-level characterization and modeling studies have been applied to understand the process by which these particles form and how they behave, both in the bulk and in solution. Although impossible to predict where this work will lead, we hope this "user's guide" will prove useful to the community as research on singlechain nanoparticles continues to evolve.From left to right:

“…In non-dynamic SCPNs, many different types of covalent bond formation have been applied successfully for the intramolecular crosslinking of the polymers (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23). In dynamic SCPNs, reversible covalent bonds such as disulfides (24) or acyl hydrazones (25) have been utilized as well as non-covalent bonds such as diamides (26), 2-ureido-pyrimidinones (UPys) (27), benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides (BTAs) (28), a combination of BTAs and UPys (29), BTA-bipyridines (30), cucurbit [8]uril (31), thymine-diaminopyridine (32), six-point cyanuric acid-Hamilton wedge interactions (33) and a combination of the last two (34).…”

Achieving the perfection of Nature in forming ordered structures in three dimensions is one of the great challenges for supramolecular chemists.Recently, the merger of supramolecular and polymer chemistry resulted in the preparation of polymers with pendant supramolecular motifs that intramolecularly self-assemble in solution into structures of defined size and shape. This review summarizes the recent progress made in preparing and characterizing such compartmentalized structures in solution in which the internal structure arises from non-covalent bond formation, making the obtained particles dynamic and adaptable. In addition, the potential of these so-called dynamic single-chain polymeric nanoparticles (SCPNs) is explored. We highlight the potential of SCPNs for catalysis in water and sensing, functions that all arise as a result of the well-defined conformations that are attained by directional non-covalent interactions

Single chain self-assembly: preparation of α,ω-donor–acceptor chains via living radical polymerization and orthogonal conjugation

Abstract: Alpha,omega-hydrogen donor/acceptor functional polymer strands are prepared via a combination of living radical polymerization and orthogonal conjugation and subsequently self-assembled as single chains to emulate--on a simple level--the self-folding behaviour of natural biomacromolecules.
