A General Synthetic Strategy for Functionalized Oligo(bipyridines): New Building Blocks for Supramolecular Chemistry and their first Application in Macromolecules

Eisenbach, Claus D.; Schubert, Ulrich S.; Baker, George R.; Newkome, George R.

Abstract:

The first directed synthesis of unsymmetrically 6,6'-functionalized 2,2'-bypyridine building blocks and a general synthetic strategy to higher generations of functionalized oligo(bipy) units are described: a block copolymer containing a bis(bipy) unit is prepared and complexed with copper(I) ions to obtain a supramolecular aggregate
