Conjugated polyrotaxanes containing coordinating units: reversible copper(I) metallation–demetallation using lithium as intermediate scaffolding

Abstract
A new polyrotaxane containing a conjugated backbone has been synthesized via a copper(I) template and electropolymerisation; after decomplexation of CuI, remetallation is only possible if lithium is present during copper removal, as labile scaffolding able to prevent collapse of the free coordination sites and of the organic matrix.
