Abstract

Come together: Self-assembly can drive the formation of conjugated imine polymers in water, and stabilization of otherwise unstable imine bonds is used to obtain fully π-conjugated, responsive dynamic covalent polyimines in aqueous environments. Both the optical properties and the aggregate morphology can be tuned by varying the aromatic monomers.
