Ortho′s, Athos, and Aramis : The ortho ‐carborane‐functionalized polyethylene, a new family of carborane‐functionalized polymer, has been designed and synthesized by the copolymerization of ethylene with ω‐ ortho ‐carboranyl‐α‐olefin using a metallocene catalyst. A thin film of the copolymer displayed strong blue emission under UV irradiation whilst degradation of the carborane cage led to disappearance of the emission.
