Vanadocene-Containing Polymers

  • Chapter
Inorganic and Organometallic Macromolecules

Vanadocene derivatives are being studied as catalysts, anticancer drugs, and as spermicides. The most common reactions for vanadocene dichloride are Lewis acid-base related that are effectively employed to make both small and polymeric materials. These uses and syntheses are reviewed along with emphasizing a new product formed from the antiviral agent acyclovir.
