Metallo-supramolecular polyelectrolyte multilayers with cobalt(II): preparation and properties

Growth and Differentiation of Myoblastic Precursor Cells on Thin Films of Metallo‐Supramolecular Coordination Polyelectrolyte (MEPE)

“…[61,62] Surface Modification-Layer by Layer: Layer-by-layer coating was carried out using the method described earlier [63][64][65] and under the conditions described as follows: Glass slides with a diameter of 18 mm consisted of pure white borosilicate glass. Ligand and MEPE syntheses were performed according to the procedure described elsewhere.…”

Hierarchical Self‐Assembly in Solutions Containing Metal Ions, Ligand, and Diblock Copolymer

“…Supramolecular polyelectrolytes based on coordination bonds have been reported, but most of them are either not water soluble [10][11][12][13] or they carry only a few charges per unit length of chain. [13][14][15] Also, many metal/ligand combinations form rather long-lived, nearly permanent bonds.…”

“…These kinds of micelles have been denoted as "polyion complex micelles" (PIC micelles) by Harada and Kataoka, [2] or "block ionomer complexes" (BICs) by Kabanov et al [3] Since the driving force for micellization is the tendency of the oppositely charged polyelectrolytes to form a complex coacervate phase, the term "complex coacervate core micelles" (C3Ms) was introduced by us. Supramolecular polyelectrolytes based on coordination bonds have been reported, but most of them are either not water soluble [10][11][12][13] or they carry only a few charges per unit length of chain. In this way, C3Ms have great potential as nanoscale carriers for the delivery of charged compounds such as DNA and proteins.…”
