Polymers containing PdnL2ncomplexes as network junctions were obtained by reaction of poly(ethylene glycol)-linked N-donor ligands with Pd2+. The addition of a metastable state photoacid renders the networks light sensitive, and gel-sol transitions can be achieved by irradiation with light. The inverse process, a light-induced sol-gel transition, was realized by using a molecularly defined Pd complex as an acid-sensitive reservoir for Pd2+. Upon irradiation, Pd2+ions are released, allowing the formation of an acid-resistant polymer network. Both the gel-sol and the sol-gel transitions are reversed in the dark.

Abstract
Polymers containing PdnL2ncomplexes as network junctions were obtained by reaction of poly(ethylene glycol)-linked N-donor ligands with Pd2+. The addition of a metastable state photoacid renders the networks light sensitive, and gel-sol transitions can be achieved by irradiation with light. The inverse process, a light-induced sol-gel transition, was realized by using a molecularly defined Pd complex as an acid-sensitive reservoir for Pd2+. Upon irradiation, Pd2+ions are released, allowing the formation of an acid-resistant polymer network. Both the gel-sol and the sol-gel transitions are reversed in the dark.File in questo prodotto:
