ROMP Synthesis of Iron-Containing Organometallic Polymers

Molecules. 2016 Feb 6;21(2):198. doi: 10.3390/molecules21020198.

Abstract

The paper overviews iron-containing polymers prepared by controlled "living" ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Developments in the design and synthesis of this class of organometallic polymers are highlighted, pinpointing methodologies and newest trends in advanced applications of hybrid materials based on polymers functionalized with iron motifs.

Keywords: ROMP; ferrocene; hybrid materials; iron-containing polymers; sandwich-complexes.
