Vinylferrocene was polymerized by means of anionic initiators such as n ‐BuLi, s ‐BuLi and distyryl disodium in tetrahydrofuran as solvent. In all cases the polymerization shows the characteristics of a living polymerization. Depending on the sequence of the monomer addition, either block copolymers of the ABA or the AB type were synthesized.
