- Abstract:
- [Fe(II){5,500-bis(bromomethyl)-terpyridine}2](PF6)2 complexes were used as metallosupramolecular
initiators for the living polymerization of 2-ethyl-2-oxazolines yielding defined
hydrophilic polymers with a central supramolecular building unit and star-like architectures. The
living character of the polymerization allows an exact control of the molecular weight as well as the
incorporation of additional (complexing) units at the polymer chain ends.
