Outline of Final Research Achievements

In general, it is difficult to control supramolecular polymerization due to its intrinsic dynamic natures. Through this research program, I have developed the first example of chain-growth type supramolecular polymerization, which allows for the precise synthesis of supramolecular polymers. Furthermore, I also realized thermally bisignate supramolecular polymerization.
