Advances in Organometallic Polymers, Ring-Opening Polymerization and the Self-Assembly of Supramolecular Polymers

  • Published:
Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials Aims and scope Submit manuscript

A personal account is given of the synthesis and properties of polymers and networks containing late transition metal centers in the backbone, especially by using ring-opening polymerization of macrocycles and/or the techniques of supramolecular chemistry. Using these methods, coupled with dynamic coordination chemistry, polymers can be assembled into unusual sheet or network structures by using ligands with hydrogen bonding substituents, or by secondary bonding between inorganic centers. Complexes containing racemic binaphthyl groups in the ligands may self-assemble selectively to give homonuclear or heteronuclear polymers. Bicyclic metal complexes can undergo single ring-opening to form chains or double ring-opening to form sheets.
