Abstract
4'-Chloro-2,2':6',2-terpyridine was reacted in a high yield Williamson type reaction with a-hydroxy-ω-carboxy-functionalized poly(ethylenoxide) to obtain monoterpyridine terminated telechelics. The completeness of the functionalization was proven by NMR, GPC and MALDI-TOF-MS investigations. Addition of transition metal ions resulted in the formation of the corresponding octahedral terpyridine metal complexes and resulted in the formation of metallo--supramolecular dimers.
