High molecular weight polybutadienes and rhodium complexes were used to produce single chain organometallic nanoparticles. Irradiation of high <i>cis</i>-polybutadiene in the presence of a photosensitizer isomerised the double bonds to produce differing <i>cis</i>/<i>trans</i> ratios within the polymer. Notably, a higher <i>cis</i> percentage of carbon-carbon double bonds within the polymer structure led to faster binding of metal ions, as well as their faster removal by competing phosphine liga ...[more]
