The development of processable high molecular weight polymers with skeletal transition metal atoms represents a synthetic challenge that, if overcome, can be expected to yield a variety of materials with novel electrical, optical, magnetic, or preceramic properties. Recent work has shown that the ringopening polymerization (ROP) of strained, ring‐tilted [11]‐ or [2] metallocenophanes provides a route to a variety of welldefined, ferrocene‐backbone polymers with molecular weights of over 1 in several cases.
