Metallosupramolecular polymers as precursors for platinum nanocomposites.

ABSTRACT: Nanocomposites comprising a polymer matrix and metallic nanoparticles (NPs) can merge the structural features of the matrix material with the functional characteristics of the NPs. While such materials are promising for a wide range of applications, their preparation typically requires multi-step processes that can be difficult to control. Alternatively, materials with NPs can be directly accessed in a controlled manner by exploiting zero-valent metallosupramolecular polymer (MSP) precursors. We here report how the nature of the polymer and its molecular weight affect the nanocomposite formation and structure. Poly(tetrahydrofuran)-based macromonomers with suitable ligands are used to prepare MSPs based on bis(η²-alkyne)platinum(0) complexes. Heating these materials causes disas
