In the ongoing journey to the development of highly efficient polymeric pseudorotaxane systems, we have chosen to expand upon the pyridyl cryptand � paraquat, host � guest system.1  Here we present work pertaining to the functionalization of pyridyl cryptands for the production of A-A/B-B supramolecular polymer systems (A=cryptand and B=paraquat).  Investigated areas include complexation studies, supramolecular polymerization and characterization.  References:(1)  Pederson, A. M. P.; Ward, E. M.; Schoonover, D. V.; Slebodnick, C.; Gibson, H. W.
