RESUMO
Heterobimetallic supramolecular polymers were prepared by treatment of the supramolecular polymers composed of tris(spiroborate) type molecular connecting modules with a potassium cation. On the other hand, the addition of a barium cation led to dissociation of the supramolecular polymer chain. Modulation of polymer formation was realized by the use of small metal cations as a control factor.

A new class of D(3)-symmetric tris(spiroborate) cyclophanes has been designed and prepared for the construction of supramolecular chain structures by iterative host-guest interaction with ditopic guest molecules. The treatment of these compounds with [Ir(tpy)(2)](PF(6))(3) complex in solution led to the formation of the chain structure, which was confirmed by (1)H NMR and CSI-MS studies. The chain structure exhibited rapid temperature-responsive gelation behavior in their HMPA solution.
