• the synthesis of the first polymer based on vinylferrocene [3], the chemistry of ferrocene and its derivatives is developing very rapidly. Ferrocene derivatives are widely applied in industry, for example, diethylferrocene is a combustion accelerator used as additive to gasoline [4]. There are many

• University of Darmstadt, Petersenstrasse 22, D-64287 Darmstadt, Germany 10.3762/bjoc.6.60 Abstract We report the radical initiated homopolymerization of a soluble vinylferrocene cyclodextrin-complex in water. Uncomplexed vinylferrocene 1 and the corresponding homopolymer are hydrophobic and completely

Keywords: cyclodextrin; free radical polymerization; polyvinylferrocene; vinylferrocene; Introduction Since its discovery in 1951, ferrocene [1] and its derivatives and their applications have been the subject of

• numerous papers [2][3][4][5][6][7]. One derivative, vinylferrocene 1, is of particular interest because of its anionic and radical polymerization behavior [8][9][10][11][12]. Due to its electrical semiconductivity properties the polymer of 1 has several practical applications. It is mainly used in
