Abstract: A new kind of pseudopolyrotaxane(PPeVCB) was prepared by supramolecular self-assembly of cucurbituril(CB) with pentamethylene polyviologen(poly(N-4,4'-bipyridinium-N-pentamethylene dibromide, PPeV) in water at room temperature. The chemical structure of PPeVCB was confirmed by elemental analysis, 1HNMR, IR and X-ray powder diffraction(XRD). The results show that CB beads are localized in the aliphatic chain and combine N+ of PPeV by non-covalent bonds; the molar ratio of CB to repeat unit of PPeV is 1∶1. The properties of pseudopolyrotaxane PPeVCB were researched by thermogravimetry analysis(TGA), UV-Vis measurements and chemical reduction. The results show that PPeVCB has a higher thermal stability, stronger absorption band and higher oxidation ability than the parent polymer.
