Summary
The synthesis of appropriate monomers bearing alkylidyne tricobaltnonacarbonyl cluster or sulfido tricobalt heptacarbonyl cluster is described. Organometallic copolymers are obtained by free-radical copolymerisation with other vinyl monomers. Direct metallation of macromolecules containing the dithioester or the thioamide functional groups was also studied. We show that the copolymerisation method is more convenient for the synthesis of pure materials containing a variable amount of definite cluster units. The potentiality of these new organometallic polymers with regard to homogeneous catalysis and for the modification of electrode surfaces is also discussed.
