Host–guestchemistry is defined as a chemistry that deals with the complex formation of two or more molecules through multiple noncovalent bonding such as hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic interactions [1–14]. On the basis of the multiplicity of the noncovalent interaction and spatial regulation of the host molecule, the resulting complex often forms a specific three-dimensional structure. In addition, the host–guest complexation triggers dramatic changes in the electronic states and/or the three-dimensional structure of the host molecule, thus providing a responsive ability. Furthermore, the noncovalent bonding imparts reversibility and mobility to the formed complex. On the basis of these characteristic features, molecules with specifically designed host moieties exhibit transcendent functions that are not realized by covalently bonded molecular systems. Therefore, polymers bearing specially designed host moieties can become functional polymers through a specific host–guest complexation with certain guest molecules. Thus, the host–guest complexation of the polymer could be regarded as a noncovalent modification of the polymers.This chapter provides a broad overview of functional polymers using host–guest chemistry, where new concept in this area is particularly described in detail. Because ‘‘functional’’polymers are mainly dealt in this book, polymer syntheses using host–guest chemistry including supramolecular polymers are excluded from this chapter, which have already been summarized in excellent reviews [15–19]. In addition, this chapter focuses only on host–guest complexation, and thus simple acid–base interaction, metal–ligand coordinations, and biological interactions are not described. The polymers introduced here will attract a great deal of attention from the viewpoint of scientific research. In addition, such polymers have tremendous potentials for applications as advanced materials including smart and intelligent materials, thus contributing to practical materials development. The research area in this chapter involves various topics and therefore a brief introduction is included in each section.
