- Abstract:
- An amino-pentyl-functionalized terpyridine was converted
to the corresponding isocyanate, which could be crystallized
and studied by X-ray diffraction. The isocyanate-functionalized
terpyridine was utilized as a reactive building block for the formation
of a metal-coordinating polymer by reacting it under mild
conditions with a hydroxy functionalized poly(THF). GPC characterization
and UV-titration proved successful functionalization and
complexation. Secondly, the isocyanate building block was successfully
utilized for the formation of a metal coordinating
compound with two different binding moieties as was proven by
1H NMR spectroscopy.
