title: Multifunctional redox polymers: electrochrome, polyelectrolyte, sensor, electrode modifier, nanoparticle stabilizer, and catalyst template.
abstract: Simple "click" polycondensation metallopolymers of redox-robust bis(ethynyl)biferrocene (biFc) and di(azido) poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG400 and PEG1000) were designed for multiple functions including improvement of water solubility and biocompatibility, the introduction of mixed valency and sensing capabilities, and as nanoparticle stabilizers for catalysis.
