Transition Metal-catalyzed Ring-opening Metathesis Polymerization ROMP of Metallocenophanes

Transition Metal-Catalyzed Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP) of Metallocenophanes 

Also of relevance at this juncture due to the analogous synthetic approach, ROMP of [4]ferrocenophane 3.61 (R=H) with unsaturated -C=C-C=C- bridges (Eq. 3.22) has been used to obtain related polyferrocenylenedivinylenes 3.62
