Abstract
The vinylene-bridged ansa-ferrocene complex [(eta(5)-C5H4)CH=CH(eta(5) -C5H4)]Fe (1) was synthesized by the McMurry coupling of 1,1'-ferrocen edicarbaldehyde (2). The ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of this strained metallocene gave poly(ferrocenylenevinylene) (3) as an insoluble orange solid which has a conductivity of 10(-3) Omega(-1) cm(-1) after doping with iodine. Partially soluble materials resulted when 1 was copolymerized with norbornene to yield a block copolymer.
