description

New optically active hyperbranched polymers have been used as microenvironments as well as scaffolds for noncovalent and covalent immobilization of pincer platinum(II) complexes, respectively. The catalytic activity/selectivity of the incorporated platinum(II) complexes in these polymeric chiral supports was investigated. Chiral amphiphilic hyperbranched polyglycerols with core−shell “nanocapsules” structure, namely (−)-P(G40C160.5) (1) and (+)-P(G73C160.5) (2), have been prepared in two straightforward steps by ring-opening multibranching polymerization (ROMBP) of either (−)- or (+)-glycidol, resulting in (−)-PG40 (Mn = 3000, Mw/Mn = 1.3) or (+)-PG73 (Mn = 5500, Mw/Mn = 1.6), respectively. Polymerization was followed by partial esterification of a certain fraction of OH groups with palmitoyl chloride. Multifunctional hydrophilic NCN-pincer platinum(II) complexes with sulfonate groups, [PtCl(NCN-SO3H)] (3; NCN = 2,6-bis[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl anion), were encapsulated in 1 and 2. The NCN-pincer plat...
