Electrochemically Triggered Assembly of Films: A One-Pot Morphogen-Driven Buildup
Polymers that "click": A polymer film is obtained by the CuI-catalyzed Sharpless click reaction between two polymers, bearing either azide or alkyne groups, both present simultaneously in a CuII solution (see picture). The CuI morphogen is generated at an electrode by applying an adequate potential. This concept can be extended to supramolecular films formed by coordination complexes.
