(a) Multicomb polymeric superstructures derived from a polymeric backbone (1), and the metal ion coordination of counter ions (2) and amphiphilic ligands (3). (b) Modules: P4VP (1), Zn (DBS)2 (2), and 2,6-bis(octylaminomethyl)pyridine (3). (c) Suggested complexation with a 1 : 1 : 1 molar mixture of 1, 2 and 3 to form poly[(4VP)Zn(2,6-bis(octylamino-methyl)pyridine)(DBS)2] (adapted from [105]).
