The study of ring-opening metathesis polymerisations of strained bicyclic monomers mediated by well-defined ruthenium complexes

When 7-alkoxynorbomadiene monomers are subjected to Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerisations (ROMP) mediated by RuСІ(_2)(РСуз)(_2)(=СНРh) (A), regeneration of the initiator is observed. As the steric bulk of the 7-alkoxy functionality is decreased the extent of regeneration observed decreases accordi...
