- Abstract:
- Diblock copolymers of poly(styrene) and poly(ethylene oxide) were prepd. utilizing a bisterpyridine ruthenium complex as non-covalent interaction for the connection of the two blocks. Apart from the synthesis and characterization of four metallo-supramol. block copolymers, first studies on the thermal properties of the block copolymers have been performed. A complex crystn. behavior was obsd. and is described in a qual. fashion. The influence of the metal complex on the thermal stability of the metallo-supramol. block copolymers remains a question for further investigation.
