In this paper, we present the concept of a soluble tubular conjugated polymer (TCP). We report on a fluorescent 5,5′-Bicalixarene-based polymer where the calixarene units are seamlessly incorporated in the conjugated polymeric chain that can respond to a small molecule complexation inside the hydrophobic cavity. In particular, our system demonstrated a reversible rapid fluorescence quenching upon interaction of gaseous nitric oxide with the calixarene moiety.

A series of novel mesogens have been prepared by a five-fold Sonogashira reaction of terminal acetylenes with a functionalized pentabromophenol derivative. The corresponding side-chain substituted polymers were prepared by an analogous polymer substitution reaction. The mesogens differ in the nature of the substituents, i.e. CH2, O, S, SO2 and CONH groups, linking five hexyl tails to the core. A wide range of mesophases and corresponding transition temperatures have been detected, varying from low melting nematic phases to highly stable columnar phases. The wide spread in phase behaviour is described in terms of specific intermolecular interactions. The addition of planar electron deficient molecules resulted in the formation of charge transfer complexes. The observed stabilisation or destabilisation of the mesophases is explained by considering the complexation strength of the complex as well as steric factors.
