Controlled polymerization of metal complex monomers - fabricating random copolymers comprising different metal species and nano-colloids.

Acrylate monomers with metal complexes were designed to build polymer metal complexes. The ideal copolymerization of monomers with zinc and platinum was performed to obtain random copolymers with a feeding metal composition. The successful nano-colloid preparation from the polymers further highlighted the potential of the method for building multimetallic materials.
