Abstract

Although it is basically regarded to be in a preliminary stage, outcomes from synthetic molecular sequences have already been observed in both polymeric and discrete systems. Examples include improvement of the performance of charge-carrier transport materials by optimizing the sequences at the molecular and supramolecular levels, fabrication of porous materials with superior properties by sophisticatedly controlling the domain segregation in the assemblies of block sequences, and switching of physical properties of polymers by taking advantage of their dynamic nature.
