Figure 4. Schematic and SEC monitoring of polymer−monomer
interconversion (eluent: THF).
prepared by complexation of the bridging ligand with Ru(II)
porphyrins showed high intramolecular charge mobility in
addition to high rigidity and linearity. To our knowledge, this is
the first example of a one-dimensional coordination polymer
that displays this level of charge mobility. Finally, we
demonstrated the monomer-to-polymer interconversion of 7.
Such a transition is not feasible for conventional organic
molecular wires based on covalent bonds, and this feature could
be applied in efficient molecular wiring processes. These results
indicated that metal-containing insulated molecular wires have
potential for other applications beyond wiring materials.

subsequently, recomplexation generated the molecular wire 7 with the
same degree of polymerization (Figure S1).
