Light-induced assembly and disassembly of polymers with PdnL2n-type network junctions

Kay Severin, Cristian Pezzato, Cesare Berton, Rujin Li

Polymers containing PdnL2n complexes as network junctions were obtained by reaction of poly(ethylene glycol)-linked N-donor ligands with Pd2+. The addition of a metastable state photoacid renders the networks light sensitive, and gel–sol transitions can be ...
