Abstract

[Fe(II){5,5″- bis(bromomethyl)-terpyridin}2](PF26)22 complexes were used as metallo-supramolecular initiators for the living polymerization of 2-ethyl-2-oxazolines yielding defined hydrophilic polymers with a central supramolecular building unit and star-like architectures. The living character of the polymerization allows an exact control of the molecular weight as well as the incorporation of additional (complexing) units at the polymer chain ends.
