Ferrocene-organosilane polymers

A. Condensation Routes to Main Chain Ferrocene-Organosilane Polymers... [Pg.136]

Condensation approaches to ferrocene/organosilane polymers have been extended to the synthesis of low molecular weight materials 11 (jc = 6, R = Me) with M 3500 from the reaction of dilithioferrocene-tmeda with the dichlorohexasilane Cl(SiMe2)6Cl (39). These polymers were shown to possess electrical conductivities in the range of 10" -10 S/cm... [Pg.136]

Prior to 1992 no efforts to prepare polymers with main chains consisting of ferrocene and organosilane units via ring-opening methods had been reported. The first developments in this area involved attempts to polymerize silicon-bridged ferrocenophanes and related species (23,41). The first successful ROPs involved the use of [l]silaferrocenophanes as cyclic monomers, and the progress in this area to date together with relevant previous work is now reviewed. [Pg.137]

PolyferrocenylsUanes are an interesting class of metal-containing polymers wiffi a mainchain consisting of alternating ferrocene and organosilane units. " Well-defined diblock copolymers containing polyferrocenylsilane segments are readily... [Pg.86]
