Our group has developed a series of novel  electropolymerizable monomers that utilize specifically designed  coordination environments to incorporate well-defined metal complexes  directly into conducting polymer backbones. These hybrid materials known  as conducting metallopolymers  have a variety of applications including  light-emitting devices, photovoltaics, catalysis, and molecular  storage/delivery. These materials exploit the properties of both the  conducting polymers and the metal centers in a cooperative fashion. The  synthesis, electrochemistry, and electrodeposition of a collection of  these metallopolymers will be presented.
