Metathesis Polymerization Reactions Induced by the Bimetallic Complex (Ph4P)2[W2(μ-Br)3Br6]

The reactivity of the bimetallic complex (Ph4P)2[W2(μ-Br)3Br6] ({W 2.5 W}7+, a′2e3) towards ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene (NBE) and some of its derivatives, as well as the mechanistically related metathesis polymerization of phenylacetylene (PA), is presented. Our resul...
