Metalla-aromatic complexes are very stable and excellent light-absorbing compounds, owing to their highly conjugated frameworks. The metallopolymers containing metalla-aromatic substructures consist of a new type of functional polymer, because they exhibit characteristics of both metalla-aromatic and polymeric units. Herein, we reported a corn-like cylindrical metallopolymer, prepared from the controlled polymerization of -isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) by a polyrotaxane-based macroinitiator, followed by postpolymerization modification with a photothermal metalla-aromatic complex. The corn-like shape of this metallopolymer was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Combining the photothermal effect of the metalla-aromatic unit and the thermosensitive property of PNIPAM, the corn-like metallopolymer exhibits a NIR-responsive behavior and represents a new smart material.

In this study, metalla-aromatic agents (MA) and a cluster of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs) were loaded inside a micellar carrier (Alkyl-PEI2k-PEG), resulting in MA/SPIOs@Alkyl-PEI2k-PEG nanoparticles (MASAs). The prepared MASAs with a photothermal transduction efficiency of 26.6% were also demonstrated as a potential photodynamic sensitizer to generate ROS effectively.

Antiaromatic species are substantially less thermodynamically stable than aromatic moieties. Herein, we report the stabilization of two classical antiaromatic frameworks, cyclobutadiene and pentalene, by introducing one metal fragment through the first [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of a late-transition-metal carbyne with alkynes. Experimental observations and theoretical calculations reveal that the metal fragment decreases the antiaromaticity in cyclobutadiene and pentalene simultaneously, leading to air- and moisture-stable products.
