Metallo-supramolecular block copolymers

Supramolecular copolymers have become of increasing interest in recent years for the search of new materials with tunable properties. In particular, metallo-supramolecular block copolymers - copolymers in which the blocks are linked together by a metal-ligand complex - have seen important progresses, allowing better control over the synthetic strategies for various architectures, and providing a better understanding of the parameters governing their self-assembly. We review here recent developments on the synthesis and self-assembly of such materials achieved in this field.
