Definition

Transition metal-containing polymers are macromolecules that contain transition metal complex moieties at the side and/or main chains.

Introduction

Organometallic chemistry has made remarkable progress since the discovery of ferrocene in 1951 [1]. Transition metal complexes and catalysts play important role in chemical industry as well as in academic field. Ziegler-Natta catalyst found in 1950s is a monumental landmark in transition metal chemistry, which provides humankind polyolefin, an indispensable material in modern civilization. Most of synthetic polymers consist of main group elements including C, H, N, O, F, Si, P, S, and Cl. In accordance with the progress of transition metal catalyst chemistry, various polymers containing transition metals have been synthesized, and they are finding applications as polymer catalysts, redox-active materials, electron-conductive materials, photo and electroluminescent materials,...
