| The combination of polymers with metal complexes allows the formation of metallo-supramolecular polymers that exhibit both the good solubility and processing properties of the polymer with the optical and reversible properties of the metal complex. In this contribution we demonstrate the formation of star-shaped metallo-supramolecular polymers based on grid-like metal complexes. The size of the resulting structures is several nanometers depending on the length of the attached polymers chains. Several synthetic polymers were attached to 3,6-di(2-pyridyl)pyridazine. The subsequent self-assembly into grid-like metal complexes upon addition of copper(I) ions was investigated in detail by UV-Vis titration studies. In addition, the resulting structures could be visualized by atomic force microscopy.
