A new synthetic route to in-chain metallopolymers via copper(<scp>i</scp>) catalyzed azide–platinum–acetylide iClick

Abstract

The first example of an in-chain metallo-poly(triazolate) synthesized by CuAAC is reported. Azido-platinum-acetylide (A-M-B) monomers are catalytically polymerized with copper(i) acetate to yield 1,2,3-triazolate linked Pt(ii) units. The metallopolymers are characterized by multinuclear NMR, IR, UV/Vis, GPC, and MS.
