Organic–inorganic networks have received great interest in materials science and chemistry over the last decades due to their tunable physicochemical properties. Metal−phenolic networks (MPNs), formed through the coordination chemistry of phenolic molecules with metal ions, is a modular class of metal–organic materials and can be used for surface and particle engineering. However, most MPN building blocks are currently limited to naturally occurring phenolic ligands. To broaden the selection of MPN building blocks for preparing diverse particle systems, we designed and synthesized diverse polymer building blocks having phenolic groups. Thermoresponsive, hydrophobic, and programmable MPN particle systems were fabricated through the coordination networks between metal ions and phenolics in prepared polymer chains. This approach provides a synthetic strategy for developing dynamic and functional MPN systems for potential applications in materials science and biomedical applications.
