Ring opening metathesis polymerisation (ROMP) of norbomene and norbornadiene derivatives containing oxygen are investigated using Grubbs well-defined ruthenium initiator. A series of 7-alkoxy norbornadiene monomers (2b-d), containing alkoxy groups wi...

The ROMP of 7-tert-butoxynorbornadiene initiated by Mo(=CHCMe2Ph)(=NC6H3-2,6-i-Pr2)(OR)2 [1, OR = OCMe(CF3)2; 2, OR = OCMe3] and Ru(=CHPh)Cl2(PCy3)2 (3) has been studied at ambient temperature by NMR in CDCl3, CD2Cl2 and C6D6. The reaction with 1 as... Read More about Ring-opening metathesis polymerization of 7-tert-butoxybicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene initiated by well-defined molybdenum and ruthenium carbene complexes..
