44. Based on an average spacing between the side chains nth and (n+4)th of 4.7 Å, we assume that a polyisocyanide of 100 nm in length contains 850 monomeric units.
45. The polymer was found to be soluble again after the heating cycle.
46. The fact that more harsh conditions are required for the deprotection step relative to those used for the formamide precursor 3 a might be attributed to the fact that the ethylcarbamoyl protecting groups of 5 a are involved in interchain hydrogen-bonding interactions, which make them more stable towards nucleophilic attack.
47. 1HNMR spectroscopy after workup.
48. In contrast, when polyisocyanide 5 a was deprotected by following the procedure described for 10c, then stirred in chloroform solution for three weeks at ambient atmosphere, AFM analysis (see the Supporting Information) revealed fiberlike structures up to μM length. This might suggest the formation of cross-linked polymers; however, more detailed studies are needed to substantiate this.
49. For the synthesis and characterization of 9, see the Supporting Information.
