Nearly a decade ago, polymers containing cationic metallocenes (or metallocenium) were at the stage of infancy. The last few years have overseen a significant growth of this class of polymers, as pushed by several research groups. Owing to the difficulty on direct derivatization of metallocenium by electrophilic substitution, recent breakthrough on the synthesis of mono-substituted cobaltocenium has paved an avenue to the preparation of various polymers. This talk will summarize these efforts in synthetic methodologies on metalloceniums and their polymers as well as a few applications.
