Abstract

We report a conceptually new polymerization technique termed migration insertion polymerization (MIP) for main chain metal-containing polymer (MCP) synthesis. Cyclopentadienyldicarbonyldiphenylphosph... (FpP) is synthesized and polymerized via MIP, resulting in air stable poly (cyclopentadienylcarbonyldiphenylphosphin... )(PFpP) displaying narrow molecular weight distribution. The backbone of PFpP contains asymmetric iron units connected by both phosphine coordination and Fe-acyl bonds, ...
