Novel organometallic aromatic polyester based on ferrocene

A novel polyester containing ferrocenyl was prepared by low-temperature interface polycondensation of 1,1′-ferrocenedicarboxylic acid chloride with 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3-phthalazin-1-one(DHPZ), which is a twisted non-coplanar heterocyclic bisphenol-like monomer. The newly generated polymer was evaluated based on characterization of its solubility, viscosity measurements, elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetric and thermogravimetric studies.
