Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recently, much attention has been paid to the development of the functional polymer materials. In this study, we have introduced the new class of functional polymers by the use of spiroborate molecular connecting modules. Successive guest-containing tubular polymer was prepared by the olefin metathesis polymerization of tris(spiroborate) twin bowl bearing homoallyl groups after the formation of supramolecular polymer. The cationic iridium(III) complexes were topologically fixed inside the polymer to form a peapod-like structure. The structure of obtained peapod polymer was evaluated by SEC, ICP-AES, DLS analyses, and AFM observation.
