Abstract

The recent progress in platinum(II) coordination-driven supramolecular polymers has had a substantial effect on the design of functional soft materials. However, the prospect of realizing polymerization induced by platinum(II) metallacycle-based host-guest interactions has received little attention until recently. Here we report the realization of supramolecular polymerization driven by platinum(II) metallacycle-based host-guest interactions both in the solid state and in solution. On the basis of the disclosed polymerization mechanism, we present a new strategy for the preparation of platinum(II) metallacycle-based supramolecular polymers.
