Poly(Ionic Liquid)S For Magnetic, Ionic, And Electrical Stimuli-Responsive Applications, Kayla Ann Foley
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) are a fascinating subclass of strong polyelectrolytes formed from polymerizable ionic liquids. As a result of their unique properties and counterion exchangeability, PILs can exhibit conformation structure or material property changes in response to external stimuli such as changes in pH/ionic environment, magnetic fields, and electric potentials. In Chapter 1, a comprehensive review of PILs design as well as their stimuli-responsive behavior is provided. Additional motivation for each dissertation chapter is also discussed. In Chapter 2, magnetically responsive PILs (MPILs) are developed from complexing paramagnetic salts with a random PIL copolymer containing a metal-coordinating co-monomer, acrylamide. A …

Self-Assembly Of Metallo-Supramolecules Based On Terpyridine And Its Derivatives, Yu Yan
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
By studying coordination complexes in nature, such as chlorophyll, heme, and Enterobacter, we have learned that the structures of coordination complexes are closely related to their functions. However, it remains a challenge to achieve elaborate structures and sophisticated functions of complexes through synthetic methods. In the supramolecular chemistry field, coordination-driven self-assembly as a bottom-up approach are used to construct diverse supramolecules with well-defined structures and desired functions. The ways to achieve the goal including (1) rearranging components through coordination; （2）linking metal ions and organic frameworks to complete energy transfer; (3) converting between assembly and disassembly due to detection of stimuli. …
