Title: Triazine‐Based Sequence‐Defined Polymers with Side‐Chain Diversity and Backbone–Backbone Interaction Motifs

Abstract

Sequence control in polymers, well-known in nature, encodes structure and functionality. Here we introduce a new architecture, based on the nucleophilic aromatic substitution chemistry of cyanuric chloride, that creates a new class of sequence-defined polymers dubbed TZPs. Proof of concept is demonstrated with two synthesized hexamers, having neutral and ionizable side chains. Molecular dynamics simulations show backbone–backbone interactions, including H-bonding motifs and pi–pi interactions. This architecture is arguably biomimetic while differing from sequence-defined polymers having peptide bonds. In conclusion, the synthetic methodology supports the structural diversity of side chains known in peptides, as well as backbone–backbone hydrogen-bonding motifs, and will thus enable new macromolecules and materials with useful functions.
