In recent years linear polymers containing transition metals have attracted much interest. There are two types of organometallic polymers in which the metal-containing portion is either a part of the polymer main chain or bound to the polymer as a pendant group. In this article the recent studies on the former type of linear polymers are reviewed on the basis of the following three parts: 1. metallocene-containing polymers; 2. linear ″Werner-type″ coordination polymers; 3. polymers containing sigma-bonded transition metals in the main chain. The main part of this review is devoted to a new class of soluble metal-poly-yne polymers in which transition metal atoms are joined in the main chain by a metal-carbon sigma -bond.
