Self-organized Nanostructures of Poly(4-vinylpyridine), Polyaniline and Polyamides due to Metal Complexation

摘要

Comb-shaped supramolecules are constructed using flexible polymers and semi-rigid conjugated undoped or doped conjugated polymers upon complexing Zinc dodecyl benzene sulphonate, Zn(DBS)_2. Self-organized nanostructures are formed in the bulk due to competing attractive interactions (coordination or water mediated hydrogen bonding) and repulsive polaronpolar interactions, showing characteristic long periods of ca. 30 A.
