Dynamic covalent polymers based upon carbene dimerization.
Thermally-reversible covalent polymers featuring dynamic carbon-carbon double bonds and tunable molecular weights were prepared from difunctional carbenes; addition of transition metal complexes to these materials afforded the respective main-chain organometallic polymers.
