The synthesis of metal‐containing polymers and block copolymers has led to a rapidly expanding field of research interest for manifold potential applications. Within this contribution, some recent advances in the field of side‐chain ferrocene‐containing polymers focusing on poly(vinylferrocene) and poly(ferrocenyl methacrylates) are presented. The synthetic developments shown focus on living and controlled polymerizations, as well as surface‐initiated polymerization strategies. First attempts and recent developments for these novel redox‐responsive materials toward feasible applications are addressed.
