Polyferrocenylsilane Microspheres: Synthesis, Mechanism of Formation, Size and Charge Tunability, Electrostatic Self-Assembly, and Pyrolysis to Spherical Magnetic Ceramic Particles
Abstract
Pt(0)-catalyzed ring-opening precipitation copolymerization of [1]silaferrocenophanes fcSiMe(2) (3) and the spirocyclic cross-linker fcSi(CH(2))(3) (4) (fc = Fe(eta(5)-C(5)H(4))(2)) was used to prepare polyferrocenylsilane microspheres (PFSMSs) under mild conditions. By varying the reaction conditions, a wide variety of other morphologies was obtained. The effects of temperature, monomer ratio, solvent composition, catalyst concentration, and …
