Journal ArticleDOI
Photocontrolled living polymerizations.
Makoto Tanabe,Makoto Tanabe,Guido W. M. Vandermeulen,Wing Yan Chan,Paul W. Cyr,Lawrence Vanderark,David A. Rider,Ian Manners,Ian Manners +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a photoexcited photopolymerization of metal-containing ferrocenophane monomers is described, in which the conversion and molecular weight of the resulting polymer can be controlled by the irradiation time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox-Active Metallomacrocycles and Cyclic Metallopolymers: Photocontrolled Ring-Opening Oligomerization and Polymerization of Silicon-Bridged [1]Ferrocenophanes Using Substitutionally-Labile Lewis Bases as Initiators
David E. Herbert,Joe B. Gilroy,Wing Yan Chan,Laurent Chabanne,Anne Staubitz,Alan J. Lough,Ian Manners +6 more
TL;DR: Varying temperature and concentration were found to influence the molecular weight distribution and the ratio of polymer to oligomer products, enabling the formation of c-PFS with molecular weights >100 kDa and two reversible redox processes of varying intensities were observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly metallized polymers: Synthesis, characterization, and lithographic patterning of polyferrocenylsilanes with pendant cobalt, molybdenum, and nickel cluster substituents
Wing Yan Chan,Scott B. Clendenning,Andrea Berenbaum,Alan J. Lough,Stephane Aouba,Harry E. Ruda,Ian Manners +6 more
TL;DR: These studies suggest that the highly metallized polymers may be useful in the fabrication of patterned arrays of alloy nanoparticles for both materials science and catalytic applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyrolysis of Highly Metallized Polymers: Ceramic Thin Films Containing Magnetic CoFe Alloy Nanoparticles from a Polyferrocenylsilane with Pendant Cobalt Clusters
Kun Liu,Scott B. Clendenning,Lars Friebe,Wing Yan Chan,Xiaobin Zhu,§,Δ,Mark R. Freeman,Guo Cheng Yang,Christopher M. Yip,D. Grozea,⊥ and Zheng-Hong Lu,Ian Manners +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the pyrolysis of a highly metallized polymer precursor comprised of a polyferrocenylsilane with pendant cobalt clusters under a reductive atmosphere (N2/H2 = 92%/8%) leading to CoFe magnetic alloy nanoparticle-containing ceramic thin films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward highly metallized polymers: Synthesis and characterization of silicon-bridged [1]ferrocenophanes with pendent cluster substituents
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the bis(acetylide)-substituted sila [Fe(η-C5H4)2Si(C⋮CR)2] (R = nBu (6a), Ph (6b), R = Ph (7b) reacted with [Co2(CO)8] in an analogous fashion, forming the novel pentametallic silicon-bridged [1]ferrocenophanes with two pendent cobalt clusters.
