Due to the high association constant, metal ion induced self-assembly of Fe2+, Co2+, and Ni2+ leads to extended, rigid-rod like metallo-supramolecular coordination polyelectrolytes (MEPEs) even in aqueous solution. Here, the kinetics of coordination and the kinetics of growth of MEPEs are presented. The species in solutions are analyzed by stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy, light scattering, viscometry and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. At near-stoichiometric amounts of the reactants, high molar masses are obtained, which follow the order Ni-MEPE ~ Co-MEPE < Fe-MEPE. Furthermore, a way is presented to adjust the average molar mass, chain-length and viscosity of MEPEs using the monotopic chain stopper 4'-(phenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine.}, subject = {Supramolekulare Chemie}, language = {en} }
