| Metallo-supramolecular polymers are a class of organic/inorganic hybrid materials in which the reversible coordination of a ditopic low molecular weight ligand to a metal ion results in the self-assembly of large polymeric aggregates. This presentation will focus on the development and properties of these supramolecular organic/inorganic materials. The effect on properties (both mechanical and functional) of using lanthanide metal ions, as opposed to or in conjunction with transition metal ions, as the inorganic component in these polymers will be outlined. |
