Synthesis of polyferrocenyldimethylsilane through ring-open polymerization and its electrochemical properties in different mediums

Polyferrocenyldimethylsilanes with different molecular weights were prepared via thermal ring-opening polymerization of the corresponding strained, silicon-bridged ferrocenophanes. The electrochemical behavior of the resultant polymers in different media were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 82: 3258–3261, 2001
