  • In analogy to classical living polymerizations, the controlled formation of highly monodisperse cylindrical micelles — ranging from approximately 200 nm to 2 µm in length — has been demonstrated using very small and uniform crystallite seeds as initiators for the crystallization-driven living self-assembly of block copolymers with a crystallizable, core-forming metalloblock.

  • Anisotropic nanoparticles made from block copolymers are important building blocks for synthetic hierarchical materials. Here, the authors report a reversible coordination-driven self-assembly strategy for the preparation of micron-scale fibres and macroscopic films based on monodisperse cylindrical micelles.

  • Main-chain polymetallocenes are typically static in nature due to strong metal–ligand bonding. Now, it has been shown that such polymers based on nickelocene are dynamic due to weaker nickel–cyclopentadienyl interactions, and at low concentration or at elevated temperature, depolymerization to the moderately strained monomer occurs.

  • The presence of metal centres in synthetic polymers can impart interesting functionality on the resultant material. This Review Article focuses on the use of metal-containing polymers in a diverse range of applications, for example, in emissive and optical materials, in nanomaterials, as sensors, stimuli-responsive gels, catalysts and artifical metalloenzymes.
