2. Experimental Details for Synthesis of DBA-TeEG 2.1. General All manipulations were performed under an inert gas (nitrogen or argon) atmosphere. All solvents were distilled or passed through active alumina and copper catalyst in a Glass Contour solvent purification system before use. All commercially available reagents were used as received. Compound 1 1 and 4 2 were prepared according to the reported procedure. 1 H (400 MHz) and 13 C (100 MHz) NMR spectra were measured on a Bruker UltraShield Plus 400 spectrometer using chloroform-d as a solvent. The spectra were referenced to residual solvent proton signals in the 1 H NMR spectra (7.26 ppm) and to the solvent carbon signals in the 13 C NMR spectra (77.0 ppm). Preparative GPC separation was undertaken with a JAI LC-908 and JAI LC-9204 recycling chromatographs using 600 mm 20 mm JAIGEL-1H and 2H (for JAI LC-908) or 600 mm 40 mm JAIGEL-1H-40 and 2H-40 (for JAI LC-9204) GPC columns with CHCl 3 as the eluent. Other spectra were recorded by the use of the following instruments: IR spectra, JACSCO FT/IR-410; mass spectra, JEOL JMS-700 in FAB ionization mode. 2.2. Synthesis of DBA-TeEG. S16
