Abstract
Novel polynorbornenes containing cationic cyclopentadienyliron moieties pendent to the polymer side chains were prepared via polymerization of metallated norbornene monomers using Grubbs' catalyst. Thermogravimetric analysis of the organometallic polymers showed two weight loss steps: the first at 200–230 °C represented loss of the metallic moieties, followed by decomposition of the polymer backbone between 400 and 450 °C. Cyclic voltammetric studies of the organometallic polymers showed one reversible reduction process.
