MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF FERROCENE-BASED CONJUGATED POLYMERS
A novel route to organic ferromagnetic materials is proposed that is based on the stability of spin-containing organometallic moieties such as ferricenium and the electronic or topological interactions contributed by a polymer. The magnetic properties of the new high-spin polymers (see Figure) are shown to be sensitively dependent on the chemical nature of the bridge linking the ferricenium units.
