New and interesting properties can be obtained from macromolecular architectures functionalized with supramolecular moieties, particularly metal-ligand complexes. Self-assembly, based on the selective control of noncovalent interactions, guides the creation of hierarchically ordered materials providing access to novel structures and new properties. This field has expanded significantly in the last two decades, and one of the most ubiquitous functionalities is terpyridine. Despite its wide-spread use, much basic knowledge regarding the binding of terpyridine with metal ions remains unknown. Here, the binding constants of PEG-substituted terpyridine in relation to other literature reports are studied and a few examples of supramolecular materials from our laboratory are summarized.
通过用超分子部分（特别是金属-配体配合物）功能化的大分子结构可以获得新颖有趣的性质。基于对非共价相互作用的选择性控制的自组装引导了分层有序材料的创建，从而能够获得新颖的结构和新的性质。在过去二十年中，该领域有了显著扩展，最普遍存在的功能之一是三联吡啶。尽管其应用广泛，但关于三联吡啶与金属离子结合的许多基础知识仍然未知。在此，研究了聚乙二醇取代的三联吡啶的结合常数，并与其他文献报道进行了比较，同时总结了我们实验室的一些超分子材料实例。
