Abstract

Ring-opening olefin metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a powerful tool for the synthesis of highly functionalized polymers.[1] The first well-defined ROMP catalyst systems based on titanium,[2] molybdenum, and tungsten [3] exhibited relatively low tolerance toward functional groups. This low tolerance could be exploited in the end-functionalization of metathesis polymers. The high oxophilicity of the metal centers made end ...
