- Abstract:
- The post-modifi cation of polypentafl uorostyrene via the selective substitution of the para -
fl uorine by amine-functionalized molecules represents a versatile method for the preparation
of functional materials. This communication presents the extension of this synthetic
approach towards metallosupramolecular materials. First,
the incorporation of terpyridines as metallo-supramolecular
binding motifs is demonstrated, which enables the formation
of a supramolecular crosslinked gel upon the addition of Fe(II)
ions. Second, the linkage of phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes
is reported yielding a copolymer that combines the
excellent photophysical properties of the iridium(III) complex
and the good solubility and processability of the polymer.
