A vinyl substituted 2,2′:6′,2″‐terpyridine and a mixed, bifunctional ruthenium(II)‐terpyridine complex bearing a vinyl and a hydroxymethyl group are utilized as comonomers for radical copolymerization with styrene. The resulting polymers are characterized by means of UV‐vis spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography, coupled with an in‐line diode array spectrophotometer.
