Organometallic Nanostructures: Self-Assembly of Poly(ferrocene) Block Copolymers

Self-assembly of block copolymers with incompatible segments is known to generate a variety of different morphologies, and provides an attractive, alternative route to nanostructures. The authors describe some of their recent collaborative work on novel organometallic nanostructures made possible by the recent synthetic access to poly(ferrocene) block copolymers (see Figure and also the cover).
