α,β‐Unsaturated ketones. II. Copolymerization reactions of trans‐cinnamoylferrocene

Abstract
The polymerization reactions of trans‐cinnamoylferrocene have been described and a number of copolymers have been characterized. trans‐Cinnamoylferrocene does not homopolymerize using conventional free radical techniques but forms copolymers with styrene, acrylonitrile, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, butadiene, isoprene, and 1,1‐dihydroperfluorobutyl acrylate.
