Metallo-Supramolecular Initiators for the Preparation of Novel Functional Architectures
-
Schubert, Ulrich S.; Heller, Marcel
- Abstract:
- Polymeric materials containing coordinative
units have become a field of increasing interest. The
combination of inorganic metal-containing units and
macromolecules leads to supramolecular structures with
new properties. One promising approach to such systems
is the application of metallo-supramolecular initiators for
living and controlled polymerization methods. The utilization
of bi- and terpyridine units and complexes for this
purpose will be discussed in this article.
