Poly(ferrocenylene iminoborane): an inorganic-organic hybrid polymer comprising a backbone of moderately interacting ferrocenes

The first poly(ferrocenylene iminoborane), that is, a polyferrocene-based metallopolymer featuring C00000000000000000000000000000000111111110000000011111111000000000000000000000000C-isoelectronic/-isosteric BN linking units, and a series of monodisperse ferrocenylene iminoborane oligomers are presented. Our studies provide important insight into the structural and electronic nature of this novel class of hybrid materials. The first example of a poly(ferrocenylene iminoborane), a novel class of BN-linked polyferrocenes, and monodisperse ferrocenylene iminoborane oligomers are presented.
