Molecular Materials VI A : Reports of ferromagnetic organic polymers have been published since 1986. The validity of these reports, and the research aimed at the synthesis and characterization of such materials are discussed and, since the reported saturation magnetization values are consistent with only a few percent of the bulk exhibiting cooperative magnetic behavior, the tissue of the source of the magnetic behavior is addressed.
