One-, two- and three-dimensional interlocked polymers based on hybrid inorganic-organic rotaxanes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Sep 12;60(74):10124-10127. doi: 10.1039/d4cc03566f.

Abstract

We report three new polymers, based on mechanically interlocked inorganic-organic rotaxanes. They are made in very mild conditions and involve pyrimidine head groups binding to copper(ii) linking units. A two-dimensional 6,3 net and a three-dimensional 10,3b net are found depending on the solvent used in the reaction.
