Abstract

Soluble cationic organoiron polynorbornenes with pendent hetarylazo side chains have been synthesized via ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) using bis(tricyclohexylphosphine)benzylideneruthenium(IV) dichloride (Grubbs' catalyst). The vibrantly colored organoiron polymers displayed weight average molecular weights between 24500 and 40900 and exhibited glass transition temperatures at 146 °C and 161 °C.
