We synthesized two kinds of poly(1,3-phenyleneethynylenes), one has (+)-menthoxycarbonyl groups at all repeating units and the other has (+)-menthoxycarbonyl groups and n-dodecyloxy groups alternately. Self-supporting membranes could be obtained easily by solvent casting. Enantioselective permeations of the polymers were investigated by pervaporation of 2-butanol. Enantioselective permeabilities of the membrane consisting of one-handed helical foldamer and unfoldamer were clarified.
Using specific C–H⋯Cl−interactions, oligo(aryl-triazole) based transporters realized efficient/selective Cl−transmembrane transport by adjusting their molecular lipophilicity and anion affinity.
