Conjugated polymers incorporating transition metals have enormous potential for chemically‐tuneable conducting and semiconducting polymers. Unfortunately, progress in this field has been limited by the challenge of preparing suitable metal‐containing monomers, the difficulty of polymerizing them in a controlled manner, and the limited solubility of the resulting polymers. We are developing new, soluble conjugated metal‐containing polymers that contain transition metals in a conjugated organic backbone.
