Synthesis and Chain Extension of Bipyridine-Terminated Polyethers with Copper(I) Ions

Eisenbach, Claus D.; Schubert, Ulrich S.

Abstract:

Well-defined supramolecular structures similar to those formed by spontaneous and recognitiondirected self-assembly in biopolymeric systems have not as yet been realized in synthetic macromolecules. However, there are several approaches to obtain highly ordered polymeric systems both by specific interactions between functional groups and/or by taking advantage of segregation phenomena.
