Research on metal-containing polymers began in the early 1960's
when several workers found that vinyl ferrocene and other vinylic
transition metal u -com plexes would undergo polymerization under
the same conditions as conventional organic monomers to form high
polymers which incorporated a potentially reactive metal as an
integral part of the polymer structures. Some of these materials
could act as semi-conducters and pos sessed one or two dimensional
conductivity. Thus appli cations in electronics could be visualized
immediately. Other workers found that reactions used to make simple
metal chelates could be used to prepare polymers if the ligands
were designed properly. As interest in homo geneous catalysts
developed in the late 60's and early 70's, several investigators
began binding homogeneous catalysts onto polymers, where the
advantage of homo geneous catalysis - known reaction mechanisms and
the advantage of heterogeneous catalysis - simplicity and ease of
recovery of catalysts could both be obtained. Indeed the polymer
matrix itself often enhanced the selectivity of the catalyst."
