Reversible Polymers Formed from Self-Complementary Monomers Using Quadruple Hydrogen Bonding

Units of 2-ureido-4-pyrimidone that dimerize strongly in a self-complementary array of four cooperative hydrogen bonds were used as the associating end group in reversible self-assembling polymer systems. The unidirectional design of the binding sites prevents uncontrolled multidirectional associati...
