Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate how curvature influences the supramolecular polymerization of porphyrin dyads.
  • Utilized scissor-shaped azobenzene dyads for polymerization studies.
  • Examined the effect of curvature on polymerization paths and structures.
  • Analyzed various topologies formed during the polymerization process.
  • Demonstrated that increased curvature alters polymerization pathways.
  • Identified distinct topologies based on curvature variations.
  • Confirmed that structural changes impact final polymer results.

Abstract

Curvature has recently emerged as a key structural parameter that dictates the pathway and topology of supramolecular polymerization. We previously showed that scissor-shaped azobenzene dyads, dimerized through a xylylene spacer...
