Ring-opening polymerisation of low-strain nickelocenophanes: Synthesis and magnetic properties of polynickelocenes with carbon and silicon main chain spacers

Polymetallocenes based on ferrocene, and to a lesser extent cobaltocene, have been well-studied, whereas analogous systems based on nickelocene are virtually unexplored. We have previously shown that poly(nickelocenylpropylene) [Ni(η5-C5H4)2(CH2)3]n is formed as a mixture of cyclic (6x) and linear (...
