Synthesis and Ring-opening of 1,2-Digerma[2]ferrocenophane Catalyzed by Palladium or Platinum Complexes
1,2-Digerma[2]ferrocenophane (1) was prepared and was fully characterized by spectroscopic methods. Palladium or platinum complexes-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of 1 under mild conditions yielded high molecular weight poly(ferrocenyltetramethyldigermane) in good yields.
