An insight into ion-conduction phenomenon of gold nanocluster ligand based metallo-supramolecular polymers

Abstract

A unique type of gold nanocluster ligand was prepared for metallo-supramolecular polymer synthesis. The nanocluster was capped with mercapto-phenyl-terpyridine and supramolecular polymers were prepared by complexation with Fe(II) salt. The obtained polymers exhibited a porous structure with high ionic conductivity. The ionic conductivity was found to be more than an order of magnitude higher than the polymer without gold nanoclusters.
