Poly(ferrocenylmethyl acrylate), poly(ferrocenylmethyl methacrylate), and poly(ferrocenylethylene) have been prepared by AIBN-catalyzed, free-radical polymerization in benzene solution. Treatment of these polymers with strongly electron attracting compounds such as tetracyanoethylene, dichlorodicyanoquinone, and o-chloranil leads to poly(ferricinium) salts, or polymeric charge-transfer derivatives. The characterization of these polymers was carried out by kinetic studies, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet, and Mossbauer spectroscopy, as well as gel permeation chromatography and viscosity studies. Some of these studies must be
