Progress in synthesis of branched ferrocene-based polymers and their applications in supramolecular recognition and as precursors of magnetic materials

Abstract

Branched polymers containing ferrocene have attracted much attention due to their redox and magnetic characteristics, among others. The recent research progress in synthetic methods of branched ferrocene-based polymers, as well as their properties and applications in supramolecular recognition and as precursors of magnetic materials, are reviewed in this paper. © 2007 VSP.
