Abstract
>From magnetic storage to catalysts, the useful properties of many materials can be traced back to the presence of metallic elements. But introducing metals into polymers has been a synthetic challenge. In his Perspective, Manners describes recent progress toward polymers in which metallic elements act as structural components. Such metal-based polymers show promise for example as sensors and in electronic and magnetic applications.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
