Binding of Cobaltocenium-containing Polyelectrolytes with Anionic Probes.

ABSTRACT: Cationic cobaltocenium-containing polyelectrolytes have a unique ability to form ionic complex with various anionic species. We carried out two sets of model study to compare the relative binding strength of a cobaltocenium-containing polyelectrolyte. First, the nature and relative strength of intermolecular interaction between cobaltocenium-containing polyelectrolytes and different anionic probes were investigated by spectroscopic methods. A dye-displacement method was used to monitor absorbance and fluorescence emissions. Second, the binding strength of this cobaltocenium-containing polyelectrolyte was compared with a classical quaternary ammonium polymer.
