TL;DR: Recent developments in the field of synthesis and potential applications of metal-functionalized polymers obtained via electropolymerization are presented, highlighting the significant advances in this field of research.
Abstract: Electropolymerization represents a suitable and well-established approach for the assembly of polymer structures, in particular with regard to the formation of thin, insoluble films. Utilization of monomers that are functionalized with metal complex units allows the combination of structural and functional benefits of polymers and metal moieties. Since a broad range of both electropolymerizable monomers and metal complexes are available, various structures and, thus, applications are possible. Recent developments in the field of synthesis and potential applications of metal-functionalized polymers obtained via electropolymerization are presented, highlighting the significant advances in this field of research.

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of norbornene polymers containing 2-terthiophenyl side chains, poly((2-TERTHOPhenyl)norbornene), by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and the cross-linking of pendant terthiophene units to form conductive polymers is reported.
Abstract: The synthesis of norbornene polymers containing 2-terthiophenyl side chains, poly((2-terthiophenyl)norbornene), by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and the cross-linking of pendant terthiophene units to form conductive polymers is reported. Physical characteristics including conductivity, thermal stability, electrochromic activity, fluorescence, and surface topography are evaluated for the resulting cross-linked ROMP polymers and compared to those of poly(terthiophene). The in-situ conductivity of cross-linked ROMP polymer films doped with PF6- was approximately half that of poly(terthiophene) films. However, thermal stability was substantially higher for powders formed from chemically cross-linked ROMP polymers, which retained 60% of their total mass at 800 °C compared to a total decomposition of non-cross-linked ROMP polymers at 500 °C. Electrochemically deposited films of cross-linked ROMP polymers proved to have considerably higher thermal stability and smoother, more uniform surfaces tha...
