Stereospecific Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP) of Norbornene and Tetracyclododecene by Mo and W Initiators

We report the synthesis of >98% cis,isotactic and cis,syndiotactic polynorbornene (poly(NBE)) and poly(endo,anti-tetracyclododecene) (poly(TCD)). Cis,isotactic poly(NBE) and poly(TCD) were prepared employing Mo-based biphenolate imido alkylidene initiators, Mo(NR)(CHCMe[subscript 2]Ph)(Biphen) (B...
