Mo(CO) 6 was reacted with the Schiff base ligand obtained by condensation reaction of 2‐acetyl‐ or benzoylpyridine with poly(propylene glycol)bis(2‐aminopropyl ether) to obtain polymeric, dinuclear metal tetracarbonyl compounds. The long‐chain Schiff base complexes are highly soluble even in non‐polar solvents such as petroleum ether, diethyl ether and n ‐hexane. These complexes, as free‐radical initiators, afforded methyl methacrylate polymerization in chlorinated solvents. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
