Abstract

Simple "click" polycondensation metallopolymers of redox-robust bis(ethynyl)biferrocene (biFc) and di(azido) poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG400 and PEG1000) were designed for multiple functions including improvement of water solubility and biocompatibility, the introduction of mixed valency and sensing capabilities, and as nanoparticle stabilizers for catalysis.

Keywords: biferrocenes; click chemistry; heterogeneous catalysis; nanoparticles; polymers.
