This review describes the preparation and structures of ferrocene‐containing coordination polymers with a focus on ligand design. Neutral ligands such as heteroaryl ferrocenes and anionic ligands such as ferrocenyl carboxylates can be used to construct one‐dimensional coordination polymers of various structural types. The main‐chain and side‐chain polymer structures are designed, and the conformational flexibility of ferrocenes leads to structural variety. The use of additional bridging ligands along with the anionic ligands leads to extended one‐ to three‐dimensional structures. These complexes exhibit various properties, including characteristic redox activities.
