Due to the cationic nature, cobaltocenium-containing polymers are novel metal-containing polyelectrolytes, which could find applications in the fields of magnetic materials, stimuliresponsive materials, chemical/bio sensors and antimicrobials. More interestingly, these polymers show counterion-dependent solubility and hereinafter unique properties.Functional cobaltocenium-containing polymers can be prepared through either direct polymerization of cobaltocenium-functionalized monomers or post-polymerization modification of precursor polymers.This chapter summarizes the most recent progress of side-chain cobaltocenium-containing polymers via controlled polymerization methods, such as ATRP, RAFT, and ROMP. Different methods involving the synthesis of cobaltocenium-containing monomers are discussed. Furthermore, self-assembly and biomedical applications of these metallopolymers in the field of antimicrobials are introduced.
