Abstract

Considerable progress in platinum metallacycle-based supramolecular polymerization has promoted the fabrication and application of supramolecular materials. However, despite recent advances, supramolecular polymers constructed through platinum metallacycle-based host-guest complexation remain rare because of the dynamics of platinum metallacycles. Here, we achieve linear supramolecular polymerization via platinum metallacycle-based host-guest complexation by following the design rule of suppressing the dynamics of the metallacycles. The establishment of the platinum metallacycle-based host-guest system and the realization of this type of supramolecular polymerization are expected to open opportunities for platinum metallacycle-based functional materials.
