Abstract
Catalytic
ester-interchange reactions, analogous to mutation and recombination, allow new
sequence-information to be written, statistically, into NDI-based
poly(ester-imide) chains. Thus, insertion of the cyclic ester cyclopentadecanolide
("exaltolide") into an NDI-based homopolymer, and quantitative
sequence-exchange between two different homopoly(ester-imide)s, are catalysed
by di-<i>n</i>-butyl tin(IV) oxide. Emerging sequences are
identified at the triplet and quintet levels by <sup>1</sup>H NMR analysis,
using supramolecular complexation of pyrene-<i>d</i><sub>10</sub>
at the NDI residues to amplify the separation of resonances associated with
different sequences. In such systems, pyrene is able to act as a
"reader-molecule" by generating different levels of ring-current
shielding from the different patterns of supramolecular binding to all the NDI-centred
sequences of a given length.
