The reaction of dinaphthofuran with lithium in anhydrous diethyl ether led to a solution of the corresponding C,O-dilithiated intermediate which, upon treatment with DMF at ？78 oC, afforded, after hydrolysis, 2＇-hydroxy-1,1＇-binaphthyl-2-carbaldehyde in a good yield. Then binaphthyl-bridged Schiff bases were prepared by the condensation of 2＇-hydroxy-1,1＇-binaphthyl-2-carbaldehyde with the corresponding aromatic amines.

η^5-Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-（η^5-exo-tricyclo[5.2.1.0^2,6]deca-2,5,8-trien-6-yl） iron（3） was synthesized and characterized by ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR, MS, elemental analysis, IR, UV and X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 3 was polymerized with ring-opening metathesis polymerization（ROMP） initiator （PCy3）2Cl2Ru=CHPh. ^1H NMR and IR spectra revealed the presence of CH=CH units in the polymer and supported the ROMP mechanism. GPC analysis of the polymer showed that the weight-average molecular weights（Mw） was 5967, and the polydispersity index（PDl） was 1.16. The polymer was also investigated by UV and cyclic voltammetry.
