Functionalization of poly(metallocenes) via hydrosilylation: Synthesis and properties of thermotropic liquid crystalline poly(ferrocenylsilanes)

Hydrosilylation of poly(ferrocenylmethylhydrosilane) [Fe(η-C5H4)2SiMeH]n with 1-hexene and ethyl acrylate was achieved using Karstedt's catalyst with degrees of functionalization of ca 80%. Using a similar strategy, 4-pentoxy-4′-hydroxyhexanoxyazobenzene or 4-pentoxy-4′-hydroxyundecyloxyazo-benzene acrylate side chains were successfully attached to the poly(metallocene) main chain. The resulting functionalized poly(ferrocenylsilanes) represent the first examples of calamitic thermotropic side chain liquid crystal polymers with ferrocene groups in the backbone.

Novel calamitic side-chain metallomesogenic polymers with ferrocene in the backbone: Synthesis and properties of thermotropic liquid-crystalline poly(ferrocenylsilanes)

Novel thermotropic, metallomesogenic polymers with a poly(ferrocenylsilane) main chain and 4-pentoxy-4′-hydroxyhexanoxyazobenzene or 4-pentoxy-4′-hydroxyundecyloxyazobenzene acrylate side chains have been prepared; each material displays a nematic mesophase.
