Abstract
Until recently, most polymers with transition metal atoms in the main chain described in the literature were either of low molecular weight, insoluble, or only poorly characterized. In the last few years the synthesis of examples of these materials which do not suffer from these defects has attracted considerable attention as a result of their potentially novel physical and chemical properties. In this article recent progress on the use of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) as a new route to high molecular weight polymers with ferrocene groups in the polymer main chain is reviewed.Keywords
