Side-Chain Supramolecular Polymers Employing Conformer Independent Triple Hydrogen Bonding Arrays

*S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Derivatives of thymine have been extensively used to promote supramolecular materials assembly. Such derivatives can be synthetically challenging to access and may be susceptible to degradation. The current article uses a conformer-independent acceptor−donor−acceptor array (ureidopyrimidine) which forms moderate affinity interactions with diamidopyridine derivatives to effect supramolecular blend formation between polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) polymers obtained by RAFT which have been functionalized with the hydrogen bonding motifs. The synthesis of functional materials using noncovalent chemistry remains a major focus of supramolecular chem-istry.1,2 Recent high profile developments include self-healing materials,3 supramolecular adhesives,4 and scaffolds for tissu
