Visual recognition of the formation of supramolecular graft polymers in aqueous solution driven by host-guest assembly is presented. The interaction between beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and phenolphthalein moieties can be followed via a distinctive change of color in basic media by optical inspection. The phenolphthalein-containing lateral polymer chain was obtained via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide and N-(2-hydroxy-5-(1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-yl)benzyl)acrylamide. The RAFT polymerizations afforded statistical copolymers with molecular masses between 6900 and 8800 g mol(-1) and molar mass dispersities (D) between 1.1 and 1.2. beta-CD-functionalized building blocks were synthesized using a propargyl-functionalized chain transfer agent for the polymerization of N,N-diethylacrylamide followed by a copper(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition with beta-CD-azide (M-n = 8200 g mol(-1); D = 1.2). Self-assembly of both polymer's to form supramolecular graft polymers was evidenced by 2D NOESY NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
