Despite the extensive application of ruthenium complexes in DSSC, transition metal containing polymers have received relatively little attention in the fabrication of polymeric photovoltaic cells. Most of the early works on ruthenium containing polymers were focused on the light-emitting properties.58-60 Several examples of ruthenium terpyridine/bipyridine containing conjugated polymers and their photoconducting/electroluminescent properties were reported.61,62... 

Overall, ADMET polymerization is an advantageous strategy for synthesizing transition metal-containing polymers because of the functional group tolerance of the metathesis catalysts employed, the mild conditions under which it operates, the wide range of accessible architectures, and the precise structural control afforded by the method.

Transition-metal-containing polymers prepared by process I (Structure 10.1,1) are, as a rule, characterized by a low content of combined metal and are nsed primarily in ion-exchange extraction, preconcentration, and separation of metals by selective extraction [13-15],...

Complexes of Cr, Mo, W, Co, Fe, Ti, and Zr possessing the pentaphenylcyclopen-tadienyl ligand have been synthesized directly from the ligand itself these compounds may serve as models for highly phenylated transition metal containing polymers see, for example, equation (9.172). ... 

Inclusion of the MNPs in the conducting polymers represents a good alternative for obtaining an attractive class of materials that combines redox properties of the conducting polymer and those of the metal ions (Wolf 2001). The systems formed by transition metal-containing polymers present some possible arrangements of the MNPs near and onto the backbone. From this point of view, these compounds may be classified into three major types, which are illustrated in Scheme 17.2.
