Many research groups have explored the properties and solution self-assembly of main chain metallo-supramolecular multiblock copolymers. Until recently, these metal complexes have been used to prepare mainly micelle type structures. However, the self-assembly of such copolymers has been exploited further to create more advanced architectures which utilize the reversible supramolecular linkage of their building blocks as a key component in their synthesis. Furthermore, the incorporation of multiple orthogonal interactions and stimuli responsive polymers into their design, enables more precise external control of their properties. This feature article discusses recent developments and provides an insight into their potential exploitation and development for the creation of novel, smart, and responsive nanostructures.
许多研究小组已经探索了主链金属超分子多嵌段共聚物的性质和溶液自组装。直到最近，这些金属配合物主要用于制备胶束型结构。然而，此类共聚物的自组装已得到进一步利用，以创建更先进的结构，这些结构利用其构建块的可逆超分子连接作为合成中的关键组成部分。此外，在其设计中引入多种正交相互作用和刺激响应聚合物，能够对其性质进行更精确的外部控制。这篇专题文章讨论了近期的进展，并深入探讨了它们在创建新型、智能和响应性纳米结构方面的潜在应用和发展。
