 Metallopolymer is one of the most important functional materials and receives increasing attention during last several decades.1 One facile method to prepare metallopolymers starts from metallocenes and their derivatives.2 We are interested in polymers containing metallocenes such as ruthenocene, cobaltocene/cobaltocenium, rhodocene/rhodocenium, which are less studied. In this presentation, we will present our recent work on polymerization of cobaltocenium-, ruthenocene-, cobalt(I)- and rhodium(I)-containing monomers through controlled polymerization methods, such as ATRP, RAFT and ROMP. Furthermore, self-assembly and some interesting properties will be discussed.3, 4
