Polyrotaxanes that contain macrocyclic molecules and a linear polymer molecule1 have attracted growing attention due to both interest in the structure and properties2-6 and the potential utility as a molecular material for electron switching and photoswitching. 7-9 Most of the polyrotaxanes already reported contain cyclodextrin or crown ether molecules that thread onto polymers such as polyethylene, poly (ethylene oxide), and polyester. The macrocyclic molecules are able to move along the polymer chain, although bulky end-capping groups at both ends of the polymer chain prevent the macrocycles from being released from the supramolecular system. Alternating polycondensation of a bifunctional compound with the polymethylene chain and with a bulky group in the presence of a macrocycle with a suitable cavity size would give a novel type of polyrotaxane containing a blocking group in every structural unit of the main chain, as shown in Chart 1. Macrocycle rings in this system are fixed between two blocking groups. There have been only a few reports on this kind of oligorotaxane. 10 Our approach to synthesizing this novel type of polyrotaxane involves preparation of poly (alkylenebenzimidazole) in the presence of R-cyclodextrin (R-CD), since R-CD could include the alkylene chain but has too small a cavity size (∼ 4.5 Å diameter) to include the benzimidazole group. Conventional preparations of poly (benzimidazole) 11 require highly acidic or severe thermal conditions, under which cyclodextrin would be decomposed, and are not suitable for this purpose. Thus, we examined the RuCl2 (PPh3) 3-catalyzed condensation of a primary alcohol with 1, 2-diaminobenzene to form an imidazole ring12 for polycondensation of the R, ω-diol with 3, 3′-diaminobenzidine in the presence of the macrocyclic compound.
