Functionalized Oligomers and Copolymers with Metal Complexing Segments based on 2,2':6',2''-Terpyridines

Schubert, Ulrich S.; Eschbaumer, Christian

Abstract:

4′-Chloro-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine was reacted in a high yield Williamson type reaction with α-hydroxy-ω-carboxy-functionalized poly(ethylen-oxide) to obtain monoterpyridine terminated telechelics. The completeness of the functionalization was proven by NMR, GPC and MALDI-TOF-MS investigations. Addition of transition metal ions resulted in the formation of the corresponding octahedral terpyridine metal complexes and resulted in the formation of metallo-supramolecular dimers.
