Condensation polymerizations of several ferrocenecontaining monomers have been investigated, using low temperature interfacial and solution techniques. 1, 1′‐bis(β‐aminoethyl)ferrocene was synthesized via a 6‐step process starting with ferrocene. This monomer was then copolymerized with various aromatic and aliphatic diacid chlorides as well as with diisocyanates, leading to ferrocene‐containing polyamides and polyureas having moderately high to low viscosities. Using the interfacial method, film formation occurred for the polyamides. The related monomer 1,1′‐bis(β‐hydroxyethyl)ferrocene reacted with diacid chlorides and diisocyanates to form ferrocenecontaining polyesters and polyurethanes, respectively, using the solution method. The ferrocenecontaining condensation polymers were characterized by IR spectroscopy and examined for possible liquid crystalline behavior.
