Liquid poly(methylphenylsiloxanes) react at 0 deg C with Ti, V, Cr, Mo, and W atoms to give high yields of bis(η6-arene)metal complexes .The coloured complexes are very thermally stable but all are sensitive to air or moisture.Condensation of Fe, Co, or Ni atoms into the poly(methylphenylsiloxanes) at 0 deg C gives only metal slurries, although at low temperatures we observe the formation of an unstable arene-iron complex.Liquid poly(phenyl ethers) give stable bis(η6-arene)metal complexes with V or Cr atoms at 30 deg C.Polystyrene in solution in diethylene glycol dibutyl ether at -50 deg C, reacts with Cr atoms to yield a complex in which 55percent of the available phenyl groups are co-ordinated to the metal.
