Hydrophilic copolymers containing 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine moieties and acrylic acid (AA) units poly (acrylic acid-co-4-(2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridin-4′-yl)styrene) (P(AA-co-TPY)) were synthesized and characterized. Coordinated with different transition metal ions, the dilute aqueous solution of the copolymers exhibited red-shifted UV-vis absorption peaks of π-π* transition from 317 to 340 nm. Further, interacting with iron ions, the copolymer showed new absorption peaks at a longer wavelength region (570 nm) and the absorption intensity enhanced with increase of the ion concentration. When enough ions were added to coordinate with the 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine moieties, novel metallo-supramolecular hydrogels were obtained due to the formation of metal coordination bonds between polymer back bones and transition metal ions (Ni2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Fe2+ and Cu2+), which acted as self-assembly crosslinking structures. The mechanical strength and morphology of the resulting metallo-supramolecular hydrogels have been investigated.

ABSTRACTIonic hydrogels are an abundant class of materials with applications ranging from drug delivery devices to high performance concrete to baby diapers. A more thorough understanding of interactions between polyelectrolyte networks and ionic solutes is critical as these materials are further tailored for performance applications in highly targeted ionic environments. In this work, we seek to develop structure-property relationships between polyelectrolyte gels and environments containing high concentrations of multivalent ions. Specifically, this work seeks to elucidate the causes behind differences in hydrogel response to divalent ions of main group metals versus transition metals. PANa-co-PAM hydrogels containing low and high fractions of ionic groups are investigated in solutions of DI water, NaCl, CaCl2, and CuSO4 at concentrations ranging from 5 to 100 mM in order to understand 1) the transient or permanent nature of crosslinks produced in these networks by divalent counter-ions, 2) the role of polymer ionic content in these interactions, and 3) how these interactions scale with salt concentration. Gravimetric swelling and mechanical compression testing are employed to characterize water and salt-swollen hydrogels in order to develop guiding principles to control and manipulate material properties through polymer-counter-ion interactions. The work presented here confirms the formation of permanent crosslinks by transition metal ions, offers explanation for the behavioral discrepancy observed between ionic hydrogels and main group versus transition metal ions, and illustrates how such hydrogel properties scale with counter-ion concentration.

Abstract Self-assembly of N6-donor bis(terpyridine) ligand L with transition metal ions: Co(II), Mn(II) and Cd(II) leads to a formation of three kinds of supramolecular complexes. In the electronic absorption and emission spectra of supramolecular complexes additional bands were observed what was ascribed to the coordination of ligand molecules to metal ions. Luminescence properties of these complexes strongly depend on the kind of metal ions and counter ions. The effective blue luminescence was observed in the case of Mn(II) and Cd(II) complexes in which all N-donor atoms of ligand molecules coordinate with the metal center

Hierarchical construction of a highly ordered supramolecular array has been, in general, a challenge due to the complexation of building blocks and the hard-to-control weak interactions.
