Key Points

The aim is to investigate how curvature influences the supramolecular polymerization of porphyrin dyads.
Utilized scissor-shaped azobenzene dyads for polymerization studies.
Examined the effect of curvature on polymerization paths and structures.
Analyzed various topologies formed during the polymerization process.
Demonstrated that increased curvature alters polymerization pathways.
Identified distinct topologies based on curvature variations.
Confirmed that structural changes impact final polymer results.

Implication

Research reveals curvature directs supramolecular polymerization pathways in porphyrin dyads, suggesting new structural insights.

Abstract

Curvature has recently emerged as a key structural parameter that dictates the pathway and topology of supramolecular polymerization. We previously showed that scissor-shaped azobenzene dyads, dimerized through a xylylene spacer...
