Oxygen permselectivities through supramolecular polymer membranes prepared by highly selective photocyclic aromatization of poly(substituted acetylene)
In order to estimate oxygen permselectivities through a supramolecular polymer membrane for the first time, we prepared three kinds of composite membranes consisting of a supramolecular polymer membrane and a conventional organic polymer membrane. Supramolecular polymer membranes were prepared by using highly selective photocyclic aromatization of poly(substituted acetylene)s. It was found that the supramolecular polymer membrane had oxygen permselectivity (alpha = P-O2/P-N2) around three in spite of its low molecular weight. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
