We describe the synthesis of water-soluble diblock and miktoarm star polymers consisting of poly(vinylferrocene) (PVFc) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blocks. First, end-functionalized poly(vinylferrocene) was generated by end-capping the living carbanionic PVFc chains with benzyl glycidyl ether (BGE) or ethoxy ethyl glycidyl ether (EEGE). Acidic hydrolysis of the EEGE-terminated PVFc partially oxidized the PVFc backbone. However, the dihydroxyl end-functional PVFc was obtained in quantitative yields by hydrogenolysis of the BGE-terminated PVFc. A series of block copolymers and AB(2) miktoarm star copolymers was obtained in a second polymerization step, utilizing the respective end-functionalized PVFc as a macroinitiator for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ethylene oxide. All polymers were analyzed in detail, using NMR spectroscopy and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). Online SEC-viscosimetry as well as MALLS was carried out, confirming the formation of miktoarm structures. Quantitative functionalization and subsequent removal of the acetal and benzyl protective groups, respectively were confirmed by MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry. Molecular weights of the end-functionalized PVFcs range between 1000 and 3600 g mol(-1), and block copolymers with 10 000 to 50 000 g mol(-1) overall molar masses were synthesized. In addition, the water-soluble block copolymers were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). For characterization of the morphology in aqueous solution, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was performed, showing micelles and multicompartment micellar structures.
