Structure and UV-vis characterization of mimetic copolymers: a) The Pc3 analog, 1, contained 88.4 mol-% phosphate, 9.7 mol-% dopamide, and 0.1 mol-% FITC sidechains. The Pc1 analog, 2, contained 8.1 mol-% amine sidechains. The balance was acrylamide subunits in both cases. b) A single peak at 280 nm characteristic of the catechol form of 3,4-dihydroxyphenol was present in the spectrum of 1. Following oxidation with NaIO4 a peak at 395 nm corresponding to the quinone form appeared confirming the expected redox behavior of the 3,4-dihydroxyphenol-containing polymer.
