Abstract
A new route to poly(ferrocenylsilanes) under mild conditions via the ring‐opening polymerization of silicon‐bridged [1]ferrocenophanes is presented. Catalytic amounts of the transition metal complexes [Rh(cyclooctene)~2~(μ‐Cl)]~2~, Pd(1,5‐cyclooctadiene)Cl~2~, PdCl~2~ and PtCl~2~ in C~6~D~6~ at room temperature afforded high molecular weight poly(ferrocenylsilanes) (2). In some cases a symmetrical dimer (3) was obtained as a byproduct.
