Metallo-supramolecular polymers, which are synthesized by the 1:1 complexation of metal ions and ditopic ligands, are a new type of polymers and unique electronic and optical properties, which are difficult to be achieved in conventional organic polymers, are expected based on the intramolecular metal-ligand or metal-metal interaction through the polymer chain. In addition, electrochemical redox of metal ions in the metallo-supramolecular polymers is anticipated to bring reversibly electrochemical control of the unique properties. Here described are (1) synthesis of Fe(II)-, Ru(II)-, Cu(II)-, Ni(II)- and Eu(III)-based metallo-supramolecular polymers and Fe/Ru- and Eu/Fe-based heterometallo-supramolecular polymers, (2) their unique properties of electrochromism, multi-colour electrochromism, ionic conductivity, humidity sensing, vapoluminescence and electrochemical emission switching and (3) the solid-state device fabrication.
