A new monomer, 2-ferrocene-ethyl-2-oxazoline, was copolymerized with 2-alkyl-2-oxazolines. The cationic ring opening polymerization (CROP) of 2-oxazolines allows the synthesis of well-defined copolymers with adjustable molar masses as well as end-group control, which was also evident from kinetic studies. The utilization of this new comonomer led to redox-active polymers as proven by UV-VIS-measurements and cyclic-voltammetry.
