Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Jul 18;53(58):8180-8183. doi: 10.1039/c7cc04381c.

Abstract

End-functionalized polymeric ligands (macroligands) and azobenzene-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid with Cu2+ self-sort into anisotropic coordination star polymers with polymeric chains on the arms, grafted from each polar position of the metal-organic polyhedral core.
