Fig. 4: Synthesis and characterization of alternating oligomers with topological variations (ABA′BAB and (AB)2A″B).

a Sequential approach for the synthesis of hexamers ABA′BAB and (AB)2A″B based on AB-sequenced oligomer. (i) Suzuki coupling reaction (Pd(OAc)2, RuPhos, anhydrous THF, 70 °C); (ii) hydrolysis reaction (THF/NaOH aqueous solution). b GPC traces of each product in the synthesis of ABA’BAB. c GPC traces of each product in the synthesis of (AB)2A″B.
