- Abstract:
- Automated parallel synthesis and highthroughput
screening has been proven to drastically speed
up polymer and materials research. Here we present an
automated parallel approach for investigation of the influences
of different counter ions (chloride, bromide, acetate
and sulfate) on the iron(II) mediated metallo-supramolecular
polymerization of bis(2,20:60,200-terpyrid-40-yl)-poly(ethylene
oxide)179. The synthesized polymers were characterized by
1H NMR, UV-vis and IR. The degree of polymerization has
been estimated on the basis of concentration dependent
viscosity measurements. The conversion as well as the degree
of polymerization followed the order: bromide, chloride>
sulfate >> acetate.
