Supramolecular self-assembly on a solid support: metal-directed complementarity.
Resin immobilised (poly)-2,2'-bipyridines have been prepared and used as templates for the copper(II)-mediated assembly of alkene-functionalised 2,2'ratio6',2''-terpyridines which undergo subsequent templated metathesis to form complementary poly-2,2'ratio6',2''-terpyridine strands.
