title: Optically active metallo-supramolecular polymers derived from chiral bis-terpyridines.
abstract: The optically active metallo-supramolecular polymers were successfully synthesized via complexation of Fe(II) ions with new bis-terpyridines containing chiral tetra-ethylene glycol units at the ortho-position of the peripheral pyridine rings. In addition, we also revealed solvent and temperature effects toward assembly and dis-assembly behavior of polymers.
