Abstract

In this study, we found that a pristine buckybowl, sumanene, can form solution-state supramolecular polymers. We also demonstrated that sumanene supramolecular polymers can be dynamically controlled by external stimuli, in which solvation plays a significant role. This study not only provides new guidelines for the rational design of supramolecular polymers, particularly for the use of buckybowls, but also presents interesting dynamic behaviors of supramolecular polymerization.
