Supramolecular Assembly of a Poly(ionic liquid) ABC Triblock Copolymer with Monovalent Halogen Bond Donors

Key Points

• The research aims to explore how halogen bonds and π-π stacking affect the structures of ionic block copolymers.
• Investigated the interaction between halogen bonds and π-π stacking in ionic block copolymers.
• Utilized pentafluoroiodobenzene and nonafluoro-1-iodobutane as model compounds for reactions.
• Analyzed the resulting supramolecular assemblies to assess nanoscale architecture.
• Identified a strong influence of halogen bonds on the assembly process.
• Demonstrated tunability of nanoscale architectures through varying interaction strengths.
• Revealed a synergistic effect of halogen bonds and π-π stacking in structural formation.
