| Abstract: | Summary: Soluble coordination polymers and gels built from a polytopic ligand containing two terpyridine units linked by a azamacrocyclic group are presented. This system originally incorporates two different types of metal complexes in the same polymer chain which induces remarkable electrochromic properties and a rare redox triggered reversible sol-gel transition. |
