Abstract
A triblock copolymer containing the complementary hydrogen bonding recognition pair ureidoguanosine–diaminonaphthyridine (UG–DAN) as pendant functional groups is synthesized using ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). The norbornene‐based DAN monomer is shown to allow for a controlled polymerization when polymerized in the presence of a modified‐UG molecule that serves as a protecting group, subsequently allowing for the fabrication of functionalized triblock copolymers. The self‐assembly of the copolymers was characterized using dynamic light scattering and 1H NMR spectroscopy. It is demonstrated that the polymers self‐assemble via complementary hydrogen bonding motifs even at low dilutions, indicating intramolecular interactions. imageKeywords
