Metallo-Supramolecular Graft Copolymers: A Novel Approach for Polymeranalogous Reactions
-
Schubert, Ulrich S.; Hofmeier, Harald
- Abstract:
- A copolymer of poly(methyl methacrylate)
with terpyridine units in the side chains was synthesized
utilizing free-radical polymerization. The free terpyridine
units were complexed with several different terpyridineruthenium
mono-complexes, yielding metallosupramolecular
graft copolymers. The materials obtained
were characterized by means of NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy
as well as GPC. Characterization by thermal analysis
revealed distinct differences between these new
materials and the initial copolymer.
