Supramolecular self-assembly on a solid support: metal-directed complementarity

摘要

Resin immobilised (poly)-2,2'-bipyridines have been prepared and used as templates for the copper(II)- mediated assembly of alkene-functionalised 2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridines which undergo subsequent templated metathesis to form complementary poly-2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridine strands.
