Platinum(ii) terpyridine-based supramolecular polymer gels with induced chirality

Abstract

In this study, we investigated platinum(ii) terpyridine-based supramolecular polymer gels to reveal the growth mechanism and induced CD in gel formation.

A Kinetic Investigation of the Supramolecular Chiral Self-Assembling Process of Cationic Organometallic (2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine)methylplatinum(II) Complexes with Poly(L-glutamic Acid)

“…Among the plethora of compounds exploited to access these kinds of sophisticated nanostructures, mainly organometallic platinum(II) complexes containing aromatic ligands such as terpy (2,2 ′ :6 ′ ,2 ′′ -terpyridine) and similar compounds have been largely investigated for their interesting electronic and luminescence properties [35]. Despite the large number of reports on the formation of well-organized nano-systems [36][37][38][39] and their kinetic behavior [40,41] and potential applications [42,43], not many investigations have addressed the formation of chiral supramolecular systems [44]. In the past, we reported that the cationic complex [Pt(terpy)Me] + (Scheme 1) is able to intercalate or aggregate with double-stranded DNA [45], single-stranded RNA and charged polymers such as poly(vinyl sulfonate) [46].…”
