Metallopolymers are highly interesting materials with properties combining typical polymeric features with the properties of metal-ligand complexes. Thereby, the incorporation of different metal complexes into the polymeric material enables the tuning of the resulting material's properties. In particular, ionic interactions between charged metal complexes and the corresponding counterions as well as reversible (switchable) metal-ligand interactions make these materials potentially interesting as self-healing materials. Compared to other self-healing polymers, the research on these materials is still in its infancy. This review summarizes the latest trends in the research regarding this class of materials.
