Supramolecular poly(L-lactide)s containing Terpyridine Metal Complexes

Heller, Marcel; Schubert, Ulrich S.
- Abstract:
- Chiral poly(L-lactide)s end-capped with a novel terpyridine ligand are
synthesized by a controlled coordinative polymerization procedure. The resulting
well-characterized macroligands can be complexed under phase-transfer
conditions with iron(II) ions to form well-defined supramolecular poly(L-lactide)
complexes. The outstanding stability of such coordinative polymers enables the full
characterization by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and MALDI-TOF mass
spectrometry. In addition, in-line diode array UV-Vis spectroscopy coupled to GPC
was carried out to verify the formation of the poly(ester) complexes.
