Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/j.jorganchem.2012.02.013

Phenylferrocenylacetylene was found to be capable of oligomerizing in the presence of WCl₆ (130 °C, 24 h) to afford short polyenes (with about 5 monomer units in the macromolecule) in up to ～30% yield. The polyenes synthesized are promising rea
