A series of Ru(II)-containing metallopolymers with different polypyridyl complexes, namely [Ru(N^N)(L)](PF) (L = bipyridine-branched polymer; N^N = bpy: 2,2'-bipyridine (Ru 1); phen: 1,10-phenanthroline (Ru 2); dpp: 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Ru 3)), were synthesized with the motive that adjusting π-conjugation length of ligands might produce competent luminescent oxygen probes. The three hydrophobic metallopolymers were studied with H NMR, UV-Vis absorption, and emission spectroscopy, and then were utilized to prepare biocompatible nanoparticles (NPs) via a nanoprecipitation method. Luminescent properties of the NPs were investigated against dissolved oxygen by steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy respectively. Luminescence quenching of the three NPs all followed a linear behavior in the range of 0-43 ppm (oxygen concentration), but Ru 3-NPs exhibited the highest oxygen sensitivity (82%) and longest emission wavelength (λ = 460 nm; λ = 617 nm). In addition, external interferons from cellular environments (e.g., pH, temperature, and proteins) had been studied on Ru 3-NPs. Finally, dissolved oxygen in monolayer cells under normoxic/hypoxic conditions was clearly differentiated by using Ru 3-NPs as the luminescent sensor, and, more importantly, hypoxia within multicellular tumor spheroids was vividly imaged. These results suggest that such Ru(II)-containing metallopolymers are strong candidates for luminescent nanosensors towards hypoxia. Graphical abstract.

Iminophosphoranes with the general formula (RP═NR') have great potential in synthetic chemistry as valuable precursors/intermediates in organic synthesis or as building blocks for various organic compounds. However, the synthetic approaches and conditions to prepare iminophosphoranes are still poorly understood, limiting the utility of this chemistry for organic materials. In this article, a simple and efficient synthesis of previously unattainable poly(arylene iminophosphoranes) is reported.

The growing interest in plant-derived compounds and synthesis of metallopolymer nanocomposites (MPNCs) especially silver chitosan nanocomposites (AgCS-NCs) emerges as a useful platform to encapsulate and deliver plant-based anticancer drugs. This work presents the synthesis of AgCS-NCs by using Moringa oleifera aqueous leaf extract (MOAE) and the effect of concentration of MOAE on physicochemical properties of AgCS-NCs followed by its anticancer effect on MCF-7 cell line. The results of UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed successful formation of AgCS-NCs.

The synthesis of differently substituted polyferrocenylmethylenes (PFM) via ring-opening transmetalation polymerization (ROTP) is reported. A number of novel, symmetrically and asymmetrically substituted carba[1]magnesocenophanes have been prepared, which were used as precursors and allowed investigations of the influence of different substitution patterns on the PFM polymer properties. The novel carba[1]magnesocenophanes have been fully characterized by H and C{H} NMR spectroscopy, and structurally authenticated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD).

π-conjugated polymers are arguably one of the most exciting classes of materials and have attracted substantial attention due to their unique optical and electronic properties. The introduction of transition metals into conjugated polymers tunes the optoelectronic properties of these metallopolymers, which may improve their performance in device applications. Graphene and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) derivatives are interesting materials with a unique structure and outstanding properties.

The practical application of polymer electrolytes is seriously hindered by the inferior Li ionic conductivity, low Li transference number (t), and poor interfacial stability. Herein, a structurally novel metallopolymer is designed and synthesized by exploiting a molybdenum (Mo) paddle-wheel complex as a tetratopic linker to bridge organic and inorganic moieties at molecular level. The prepared metallopolymer possesses combined merits of outstanding mechanical and thermal stability, as well as a low glass transition temperature (T <-50 °C).
