Firstly, using a phenanthroline ligand, an amino-functionalized transition metal complex was prepared by tin(II) chloride. In the second step, this metal complex was subsequently reacted with the octakis(3-chloropropyl)octasilsesquioxane, resulting for the metallosupramolecular polymers bearing POSS structure. All the synthesized compounds were fully characterized by spectroscopic analysis, thermal and electron microscopy techniques. Stimuli responsible properties of metallo-supramolecular materials were also investigated the reversibility upon external factors, such as electrochemical or the addition of competitive complexing ligands by electroanalytic techniques and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The electro- and chemo-responsive properties of the metallo-supramolecular materials were also improved. As a result, prepared phenanthroline-functionalized polyhedral silsesquioxane are good candidates for electronic, opto-electronic, and photovoltaic applications as a smart stimuli-responsive material.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSupramolecular polymersStimuli-responsive polymersPOSSPhenanthroline ligandsArticle21210.1007/s10965-013-0345-82-s2.0-84897606429Q2WOS:000329626200001Q2
