Synthesis of Tungsten Oxo Alkylidene Biphenolate Complexes and Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization of Norbornenes and Norbornadienes

We have synthesized and characterized tungsten oxo alkylidene biphenolate complexes with the formulas W(O)(CHR)(rac-biphenolate)(PPhMe2) and (R,S)-[W(μ-O)(CHR)(biphenolate)]2 (R = CMe2Ph; biphenolate = L1 or L2 in the text). They behave as initiators for the stereoselective (cis,isotactic) polymeriz...
