Following from Part I (this journal, 18(1), 2008), dedicated to main group metal containing polymers obtained by ROMP, the application of the same progressive concept to prepare polymers having this time transition metals in the side- or main-chain is here critically overviewed. These TMC polymers were produced through ROMP reactions promoted by Schrock's Mo-carbene or the Grubbs' Ru-carbene catalysts, the most recent and unique methodology for obtaining wished for structures. While discussing main aspects of these target-driven syntheses, as well as properties and applications of the neutral and cationic transition metal containing polymers, emphasis is laid upon organoiron macromolecules based on ferrocene scaffolds. Special attention is given to electrochemical behavior and thermal characteristics. Topics also cover polymers with other transition metals such as Co, Ni, Ru, Pd and Pt, which are important for generating zero valent metal nanoclusters in polymer films. Finally highlighted are some illustrative examples of metal-linked, metallodendrimers and hyperbranched, dendritic and star polymers.
