New Polyester-Based Terpyridine Macroligands and their Blue Iron(II) Complexes
-
Winter, Andreas; Schubert, Ulrich S.
- Abstract:
- A library of hydroxy- and amino-functionalized Kro¨hnke-type terpyridines have been used to
synthesize new terpyridine end-functionalized poly(e-caprolactone)s and poly(L-lactide)s,
via Sn(II)-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization. It has also been possible to prepare a set
of metallo-supramolecular AA homopolymers by
complexation with Fe(II) metal ions. All of these
complexes have been fully characterized. Stable
metallo-polymers with an intense blue color have
been obtained from the quaternized macroligands.
This color property might be of great interest for the
design of functional supramolecular materials, with
respect to color tuning and optical applications.
