分子化学是以共价键为基础的，而较弱的非共价力定义了超分子化学。因此，超分子化学是研究分子间相互作用和分子可逆组装的学科。超分子聚合物出现在20世纪90年代初的某个时候，作为超分子化学、自组装、材料化学和纳米技术的直接和逻辑延伸。六年前，这本书的第一版出版了，但这个领域已经变得如此受欢迎，智力密集，并已大大扩展，出版这第二版是非常合适的。超分子聚合物代表了一类新的大分子，其中可逆键和力将单体单元保持在一起。超分子聚合物的独特之处在于，它们将常规聚合物的联合收割机特征与键合可逆性所产生的性质相结合。超分子聚合物材料的结构参数以及它们的性质和功能可以通过缔合-解离的精细过程来“开-关”。它们的强度、聚合度和功能可以在单体单元的水平上进行编程。本书分为两个部分，每个部分包含11章。第一部分，“理论和结构”，从Lehn和Ciferri写得非常好的贡献开始，基本上定义了超分子聚合物的领域。本节还包括超分子聚合的理论（第3章），并给出了一个超分子生长过程的理论模型（第2章）的彻底描述。在接下来的章节中，对超分子聚合物的合成和结构作了进一步的详细介绍。各种各样的力都可以用来构建主链聚合物结构，例如第5章和第6章中广泛讨论的氢键、金属-配体配位、静电和供体-受体相互作用、货车范德华力等。共价聚合物链之间的非共价相互作用也已被鉴定和使用，特别是在侧链超分子聚合物中。机械联锁超结构，如聚轮烷和聚链烷，在第8章中讨论，树枝状超分子和超大分子组装体在第7章中描述了托马利亚的惊人贡献。本节还涵盖了令人印象深刻的多样性的超分子聚合物。可逆形成的结构包括线性、二维和三维组件。相对简单的线性聚集体由螺旋、柱状和管状超分子聚合物以及甚至更复杂的胶束、自组装单层和嵌段共聚物的独特组装体补充。第二部分介绍了超分子聚合物的独特性质、功能和潜在应用。
Molecular chemistry is based on the covalent bond, whereas weaker, noncovalent forces define supramolecular chemistry. Supramolecular chemistry is thus a study of intermolecular interactions and reversible assemblies of molecules. Supramolecular polymers emerged some time in the early 1990s as a direct and logical extension of supramolecular chemistry, selfassembly, materials chemistry, and nanotechnology. Six years ago, the first edition of this book appeared, but the field has become so popular and intellectually intense and has expanded so significantly that publication of this second edition is highly appropriate.Supramolecular polymers represent a novel class of macromolecules in which reversible bonds and forces hold monomeric units together. The uniqueness of supramolecular polymers is that they combine features of conventional polymers with properties resulting from the reversibility of bonding. Structural parameters of supramolecular polymeric materials and therefore their properties and functions can be switched “on-off” through delicate processes of association-dissociation. And their strength, degree of polymerization, and functions can be programmed at the level of their monomeric units. The book is organized into two sections with each containing 11 chapters. The first section,“Theory and Structure”, starts with exceptionally well-written contributions by Lehn and Ciferri, which essentially define the fields of supramolecular polymers. This section also covers the theory of supramolecular polymerization (Chapter 3) and gives a thorough description of theoretical models of the processes of supramolecular growth (Chapter 2). In the following chapters, the synthesis and structure of supramolecular polymers are further described in great detail. A wide variety of forces can be used to construct main-chain polymeric structures, such as hydrogen bonding, extensively covered in Chapters 5 and 6, metal-ligand coordination, electrostatic and donor-acceptor interactions, van der Waals forces, and others. Noncovalent interactions between covalent polymeric chains have also been identified and used, particularly in side-chain supramolecular polymers. Mechanically interlocked superstructures, such as polyrotaxanes and polycatenanes, are discussed in Chapter 8, and dendritic supramolecular and supramacromolecular assemblies are described in a spectacular contribution by Tomalia in Chapter 7. This section also covers an impressive diversity of supramolecular polymers. Reversibly formed structures include linear, two-dimensional, and threedimensional assemblies. Relatively simple linear aggregates are complemented by helical, columnar, and tubular supramolecular polymers and even more complex micelles, self-assembling monolayers, and unique assemblies of block copolymers. The second section is dedicated to the unique properties, functions, and potential applications of supramolecular polymers.
