“…[29][30][31][32] For this method, the polymer units containing ligand moieties (macroligands) are rst designed and synthesized, and the tailored units are then held together through the coordination with metal ions. 12,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]30 Among ligand groups, 2,2 0 :6 0 ,2 00 -terpyridine (Tpy) moiety is widely introduced into polymer building blocks for synthesizing macroligands, 12,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][28][29][30][31][32] because it is able to form stable Tpy-M-Tpy (M, metal ion) complexes with a wide range of metal ions such as Ni(II), Fe(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Ru(II), [29][30][31][32][33][34] making the formed metallosupramolecular polymers have a well-dened architecture.
