Metallomacromolecules are frequently encountered in redox proteins including metal-tanned hide collagen and play crucial roles involving supramolecular properties in biological electron-transfer processes. They are also currently found in non-natural families, such as: metallopolymers, metallodendrimers and metallodendronic polymers. This mini-review discusses the supramolecular redox functions of such nanomaterials developed in our research group. Electron-transfer processes are first examined in mono-, bis- and hexa-nuclear ferrocenes and other electron-reservoir organoiron systems showing the influence of supramolecular and reorganization aspects on their mechanism. Then applications of electron-transfer processes using these same organoiron redox systems in metallomacromolecules and their supramolecular functions are discussed including redox recognition/sensing, catalysis templates, electrocatalysis, redox catalysis, molecular machines, electrochromes, drug delivery device and nanobatteries.

金属大分子的超分子氧化还原功能

金属大分子在氧化还原蛋白（包括金属鞣制的生皮胶原蛋白）中经常遇到，并在生物电子转移过程中发挥涉及超分子性质的关键作用。目前，它们还存在于非天然家族中，例如：金属聚合物，金属树状聚合物和金属树状聚合物。这篇迷你评论讨论了我们研究小组开发的此类纳米材料的超分子氧化还原功能。首先在单核，双核和六核二茂铁和其他电子储库有机铁系统中检查电子转移过程，这些系统显示了超分子和重组方面对其机理的影响。
