Gels are a special class of materials which are composed of 3D networks of crosslinked polymer chains that encapsulate liquid/air in the matrix. They can be classified into organogels or hydrogels (organic solvent for organogel and water for hydrogel). For hydrogels that contain metallic elements in the form of ions, the term of metallo-supramolecular polymer hydrogel (MSPHG) is often used. The aim of this project is to develop a kind of new MSPHG and investigate its properties and possible applications. The commercial polymeric anhydride poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic anhydride) (PVM/MA) is converted by reaction with NaOH to give poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-monosodium maleate) (PVM/Na-MA). By addition of AgNO3-solution, the formation of the silver(I) supramolecular polymer hydrogel poly[methyl vinyl ether-alt-mono-sodium maleate]∙AgNO3 is obtained. Freeze-dried samples of the hydrogel show a mesoporous network of polycarboxylate ligands that are crosslinked by silver(I) cations. The supercritical CO2 dried silver(I) hydrogel was characterized by FT-IR, SEM-EDAX, TEM, TGA and Physical adsorption (BET) measurements. The intact silver(I) hydrogel was characterized by cryo-SEM. In the intact hydrogel, ion-exchange studies are reported and it is shown that Ag+ ions can be exchanged by copper(II) cations without disintegration of the hydrogel. The silver(I) hydrogel shows effective antibacterial activity and potential application as burn wound dressing.

New π-conjugated building blocks (unimers) for metallo-supramolecular polymers (MSPs), whose comprise: (i) substituted phosphole ring surrounded by two thiophene rings as the central block, (ii) 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-4'-yl (tpy) end-groups as ion-selectors, and (iii) different linkers inserted between the central block and tpy end-groups, are described. Chemical and physical properties of those unimers were studied with attention on correlation between properties and structure of unimers. For example the unimer without linkers shows the UV/vis absorption maximum red shifted about 60 to 100 nm compared to bis(tpy)terthiophenes, which proves that replacing of the thiophene with phosphole unit significantly enhances the delocalization of electrons within the unimer molecule and significant area of absorption spectra can be covered. Introduction of linkers (ethynediyl, ethynediyl-thiophene-2,5-diyl, ethynediyl-1,4-phenylene) has a minor effect on the bandgap energy. All prepared unimers underwent self-assembling process with various metal ions (Co2+ , Cu2+ , Fe2+ , Ni2+ and Zn2+ ) resulting into metallo-supramolecular polymers. Three stages of the assembly of unimers into related MSPs were observed and characterized by absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography: 1)...

The diploma thesis presents the preparation of ,-bisterpyridinylfluorenes (unimers) containing fluorene unit in the central block either directly attached to terpyridine (tpy) end groups or via 1,4-phenylene or thiophene-2,5-diyl linker. Synthesized unimers were subsequently used for the preparation of metallo-supramolecular polymers with Zn2+ and Fe2+ ions. The prepared unimers were characterized by NMR, IR and HR-MS, their optical properties were investigated using absorption and emission spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Molecular weight distribution for the prepared Fe-polymers was determined by GPC. The number-average degree of polymerization equal to 7 for an equimolar ratio between unimer and Fe2+ in a diluted solution was determined for polymers composed of unimer with thiophene-2,5- diyl linker. By using the viscometric measurements the ongoing constitutional dynamics in solutions of metallo-supramolecular polymers was proven. The overstoichiometric amount of metal ions in solution resulted in equilibrium shortening of the polymer chains together with end-capping of terminal tpy ligands by Mt2+ ions. Unimer with thiophene-2,5-diyl linker exhibited unique properties involving significantly red-shifted absorption and emission maxima, as well as the different behavior during assembling...

Lors de ces travaux de thèse, des unités monomériques appelées unimères ont été synthétisées et utilisées pour le développement de polymères métallo-supramoléculaires (MSPs). Ces unités se composent (i) d’un bloc central: 2,5-dithiénylphosphole, (ii) dA’un chélate : 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-4'-yl (tpy) et (iii) de connecteurs variés assurant la jonction entre le bloc central et le chélate. Les propriétés physico-chimiques de ces unimères ont été mesurées afin d’établir des relations structures/propriétés. Par exemple, l’unimère ne comportant pas de connecteurs entre l’unité central et le chélate présente un maximum d’absorption fortement décalé vers le rouge par rapport à l’unimère bis(tpy)terthiophène. Cette observation montre que la délocalisation électronique est accrue dans ces systèmes et permet de couvrir un large domaine spectral. L’introduction de connecteurs (éthynediyle, éthynediyle-thiophène-2,5-diyle, éthynediyle-1,4-phénylène) entre le bloc central et le chélate a un effet mineur sur l’écart HO-BV et sur la position des maxima d'absorption. Puis tous les unimères synthétisés ont été mis en présence de différents ions métalliques (Co2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Ni2+ et Zn2+) pour former les MSPs correspondants. Ce phénomène de polymérisation a été étudié en détail en utilisant les spectroscopies d’absorption, d’émission et la chromatographie d’exclusion stérique. Ainsi, cette polymérisation présente 3 étapes : (i) la formation des dimères U-M-U, (ii) la prolongation de chaine de polymères qui atteint un une longueur maximale pour le ratio 1/1 ion métallique/unimère; (iii) terminaison réalisée avec des ions métalliques lorsque ces ions sont présent en excès. Les propriétés optiques de ces nouveaux polymères ont également été étudiées montrant qu’elles dépendent fortement de la nature de l’ion métallique utilisé. / New π-conjugated building blocks (unimers) for metallo-supramolecular polymers (MSPs), whose comprise: (i) substituted phosphole ring surrounded by two thiophene rings as the central block, (ii) 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-4'-yl (tpy) end-groups as ion-selectors, and (iii) different linkers inserted between the central block and tpy end-groups, are described. Chemical and physical properties of those unimers were studied with attention on correlation between properties and structure of unimers.

All prepared unimers underwent self-assembling process with various metal ions (Co2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+) resulting into metallo-supramolecular polymers. Three stages of the assembly of unimers into related MSPs were observed and characterized by absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography: 1) formation of dimer species: U-M2+-U (U stands for unimer); 2) prolongation of polymer chain to reach the maximum length at equimolar ratio of unimer and metal ions; 3) end-capping of polymer chains and their partial decomposition at stoichiometric excess of ion couplers. Optoelectronic properties of newly formed metallo-supramolecular polymers were investigated and choice of the metal ions was shown to be of crucial importance. / V rámci této disertační práce byly připraveny stavební bloky (nazývající se unimery) pro tvorbu konjugovaných metalo-supramolekulárních polymerů (MSPs), které ve své struktuře obsahují: (i) substituovaný fosfolový kruh obklopený dvěma thiofenovými cykly jako centrální blok, (ii) 2,2':6',2''-terpyridin-4'-yl (tpy) jako koncovou skupinu pro navázání iontů, a (iii) různé spojky mezi uvedeným centrálním blokem a tpy skupinou. Chemické a fyzikální vlastnosti těchto unimerů byly prostudovány s důrazem na korelaci mezi vlastnostmi a strukturou unimeru. Například unimer bez přídavných spojek vykazuje posun UV/vis absorpčního maxima do červené oblasti o 60 až 100 nm v porovnání s bis(tpy)terthiofenem, což značí, že nahrazením thiofenu fosfolem se značně zvyšuje delokalizace elektronů v molekule unimeru a může být pokryta značná část spektra. Začlenění spojek (ethynediyl, ethynediyl-thiofen-2,5-diyl, ethynediyl-1,4-fenylen) do struktury unimeru má jen malý vliv na šířku zakázaného pásu, a tedy pozici absorpčního maxima. Všechny připravené unimery byly podrobeny procesu samo-seskupování s různými kovovými ionty (Co2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Ni2+ a Zn2+) za vzniku organokovových polymerů. Tři stadia provázející proces samo-seskupování byla pozorována pomocí absorpční a fluorescenční spektroskopie a gelové permeační chromatografie (SEC): 1) tvorba dimerů U-M2+-U (U = unimer), 2) prodlužování polymerních řetězců a dosažení maximální délky při ekvimolárním poměru unimeru a kovových iontů, 3) vazba kovových iontů na koncové terpyridinové skupiny a rozklad polymerního řetězce na kratší při stechiometrickém přebytku kovových iontů. Optické vlastnosti nově připravených organokovových polymerů byly prozkoumány a ukázalo se, že velmi závisí na vybraném kovovém iontu.
