The introduction of metallic moieties coordinated to arenes resulted in polyethers or polyether/thioethers, which have excellent thermal properties. A no. of new cationic organoiron- and ferrocene-contg. linear and crosslinked polymers was achieved successfully via acid-catalyzed condensation polymn. According to SEM imaging, the synthesized polymers had nano- and micron-sized surface structures, which would make them excellent materials where small polymer size or increased surface area are Show moreThe introduction of metallic moieties coordinated to arenes resulted in polyethers or polyether/thioethers, which have excellent thermal properties.
