Photo- and thermo-responsive complementary metal coordination for the construction of supramolecular polymers

photooxidation and thermal reduction, and construct fluorescent supramolecular polymers (FSLP) by integrating dual synergistic complementary metal coordination interactions with host-guest recognition. Photooxidation of the complementary metal coordination enables its disassembly, while heating induces its reformation, thereby realizing reversible degradation and regeneration of the FSLP. Given the fascinating coordination structures and photo- and thermo-responsive properties, this study provides inspiration for designing new functional supramolecular assemblies.
