Amino acid containing polymers were synthesized from reaction of diglycine and group 4 metallocene dihalides employing the interfacial condensation process in decent yield and chain lengths. Yield increases as the metallocene metal weight increases consistent with the hard/soft acid theory.  Chain length decreases as the metallocene weight increases. Infrared, MALDI MS, and NMR results are consistent with the proposed repeat unit.   The polymers exhibit good inhibition of all cell lines tested including two pancreatic, two brain, two breast, prostate and lung human cancer cell lines.   <br/>
