By employing toluene-p-sulfonic acid as a catalyzer, a series of hyperbranched poly（amide-ester） （HBPAE） were successfully synthesized from prepared AB2 monomer by solution condensation polymerization through ＂one-step process＂ or ＂pseudo one-step process＂ （using pentaerythritol as a center core）. The processes were carried out at high temperature of 120 ℃ for 6 h in air atmosphere （inert protection free） with reduced pressure distillation （0.08--0.096 MPa）. The results of FT-IR, UV-Vis, TGA, and intrinsic viscosity testing by Ubbelodhe viscometer showed that the prepared HBPAEs possess three-dimensional configuration with unsaturated conjugate structure, large numbers of branches and numerous terminal hydroxyl groups. These result in their low viscosity, high solubility and thermal stability.展开更多

Stable pseudo[ 1 ]rotaxane was formed by the self-complexation from P1 or P2, whereas, concentration-dependent pseudorotaxane structures were generated by P3 which bearing more flexible side chain. Interestingly, the obtained pseudo[1]rotaxanes exhibited a dynamic fast assembly process upon adding NaBF4, resulting in the formation of Na＋-induced pseudorotaxanes.展开更多
