Organometallic Ferrocenyl Polymers Displaying Tunable Cooperative Interactions between Transition Metal Centers

Abstract

Due to a dependency on the element in the spacer and its substituents, the extent of the interactions between the ferrocene units of the polymer backbone of 1 and 2 can be varied. The electrochemical behavior of 3 in which the ferrocene units are separated by C2 bridges shows that the cooperative interactions are much less significant for this polymer.
