Polycatenane model.[1]

A polycatenane[2] is a chemical substance that, like polymers, is chemically constituted by a large number of units. These units are made up of concatenated rings into a chain-like structure.

It consists of mechanically linked catenane[3] structures, via topological Hopf links[4], resulting in a higher dimensionality than the repeating unit.[5] They are a class of catenanes where the number of macrocycles[6] is more than two and as catenanes they belong to the big family of mechanically interlocked molecular architectures (MIMAs).[7][8]

Reciprocal degree of motion of polycatenanes rings.

The characteristic feature of a polycatenane compound, that distinguishes it from other polymers, is the presence of mechanical bonds[7][9][10] in addition to covalent bonds. The rings in this chain-like structure can be separated only when high energy is provided to break at least a covalent bond of the macrocycle. [n]-Catenanes (for large n), which consist solely of the mechanically interlocked cyclic components, can be viewed as “optimized” polycatenanes. The main difference between poly-[2]-catenanes[11] and poly-[n]-catenanes[1][12] is the repeating unit, as a monomer it is for the polymer. In the first case the monomer is made of two interlocked rings that reapeat continuously in the final polycatenane, while in the latter case there is only one ring that repeat the interlocking process for a large number of times. If the rings of the polycatenane are all of the same type, it can be defined as a homocatenane while if the subunits are different it is defined as heterocatenane.

As a chain, the degree of motion of these structures is very high, greater then a usual polymer, because the rings possess a reciprocal rotational, elongational and rocking motion.[1] This flexibility is retained even if the macrocycles themselves are very rigid units, because the mobility is given by the ability of the rings to move with respect to each other. This mobility influences the final properties of the material (mechanical, rheological, thermal...), and provides a dynamic behaviour.[13]

Classification

[edit]
Four classes of polycatenanes

Depending on the location of the catenane structures in the polymer chain, the polycatenanes can be divided into main-chain polycatenanes and side-chain polycatenanes.[2][7][14]

Main-chain polycatenanes are linear catenanes in which the rings are one interlocked one another in a large number of units. They can also be a serie of oligomers linked physically even if not interlocked together. The stability of the structure is not only given by mechanical bonds but also hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions between the rings.[2]

On the other hand, the Side-Chain Polycatenanes, are polycatenanes with ramifications where more oligomers are connected on the same cycle with respect to the main backbone. This type of catenane is synthesised functionalizing the macrocycles so that there is a directionality with the possibility to control the ramification.[2]

There are other types of polycatenanes like the ones based on cyclic polymers[15], where the macrocyles are interlocked to the cyclic polymers, or the polycatenane networks[16], when catenanes are interlocked to each other into a net.

Catenated nanocages

[edit]

The basic unit of the polycatenane can differ from the relatively simple organic macrocycle. When organic and inorganic building blocks come together can form a coordination cages (or macromolecular cages) that can interlock one another to form a polycatenane structure.[17] The mechanism is still unexplored but generally the subunits self-assemble[18][19] into a 0D cage and, in a concerted process, they interlock together into a linear[20] or more intricate catenane structure.[21] Sometimes the catenated cages structure is more stable with respect to the monomeric cage state, and it can be formed passing through a favored reaction intermediate.[22] The synthesis can follow a statistical or a directed routes, forming more or less product[23], but there are some cases when post-synthetic modifications can increase the product yields.[24] Catenated cages can be applied in a wide range of application due to the high presence of voids.[25]

Synthesis and applications

[edit]

Synthesis

[edit]

The synthesis of polycatenanes is considered a very challenging task. The formation of poly-[2]-catenanes can be achieved by polymerization of functionalized [2]-catenanes.[26] Also the synthesis of [3]-catenanes, [5]-catenanes, [6]-catenanes and [7]-catenanes is reported in many articles.[27][28] The synthesis of poly-[n]-catenanes has instead some practical issues.[29][30] To this purpose, molecular dynamic simulation is very used as a tool for the design of the optimal synthetic path toward the desired product by predicting the final topology.[31][13]

There are two main synthetic routes: the Statistical approach and the Template-Directed approach.[32]

The statistical approach[33][34] is based on a stochastic methodology. When the reactants are toghether, there is a probability that they will fit together first and then close on top of each other in a process of cyclization. The catenation of two rings into a catenane is already complex, thus, as expected, the interlocking of multiple cycles into a polycatenane is statistically improbable. Being an unfavoured entropically process the product is obtained in very small amount. Also, the cyclization process requires high dilutions, but the elongation of the chain is favoured at high concentrations, making the synthesis even more difficult.[33][34]

Example of Template-Directed Clipping Approach for the Synthesis of Catenanes.[26]

The Template directed approach[32][35] is based on the host-guest interactions that can direct the cyclization of preorganized linear unit upon the existing macrocycle. These interactions can be hydrogen bonds, π-π interactions, hydrophobic interactions or metal ions coordinations. In this way the synthesis can be enthalpy-driven, obtaining quantitative results.[32][35]

The yield and selectivity are restrained by the kinetic or thermodynamic control of the reaction.[36]

Generally the kinetic control[37] induces the formation of a product after short reaction times because it is favoured by irreversible reactions (or equilibrium reaction moved very much toward the formation of the products). The thermodynamic product[38] is obtained for longer reaction times for reversible processes. In this case the units have the time to rearrange themselves toward the most stable state, in a sort of error-checking process. This is obtained by breaking covalent and coordination bonds and forming the most stable ones.[39]

Applications

[edit]

Given that polycatenanes are a relatively recent field of study, the properties of these materials are not yet fully explored and understood.[40] The type of bonds that caracterize the whole structure (covalent, non covalent, mechanical bonds...), the degree of mobility of the chain, the interactions between different chains and the fraction of voids of the catenanes are all factors that contribute to the final properties. As they can be strictly related to the family of Metal Organic Frameworks, the catenanes share all the potential applications of this class of compunds. Among these, there are applications in biomedicine[41], catalysis[42], as conducting bridges or in electronic devices[43], sensing[44] [45] or in very recent and rising fields like molecular machines.[46][47]
