Analysis by 1HNMR, IR, MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy, and AFM indicated that the synthesized polymers consist of nanoscale-gel-shaped structures that contain fixed holes and cavities. We designated this class of polymers as botryosin, after the Greek word botrys, meaning a bunch of grapes. Examination of host-guest chemistry of the synthesized polymers revealed complexation with alkali metal ions.}, pages = {1765--1767}, title = {Calixarene-polymers via Simple Polymerization of t-Butylcalix[8]arenes (A8-type Monomer) with Hexamethylene Diisocyanate (B2-type Monomer); Molecular Bunch of Grapes (Botryosin)}, volume = {44}, year = {2015} }
