Monomers possessing two functionalities suitable for polymerization are often designed and
utilized in syntheses directed to the formation of cross-linked macromolecules. In this review …

Conspectus Metathesis cyclopolymerization (CP) of α, ω-diynes is a powerful method to
prepare functional polyacetylenes (PAs). PAs have long been studied due to their interesting …

In a conventional living ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), an equal number
of ruthenium complexes to the number of polymer chains synthesized are required. This can …

Ruthenium alkoxymethylidene complexes have recently come into view as competent
species for metathesis copolymerization reactions when coupled with appropriate …

New polyphenylene-based dendronized polymers (denpols), exhibiting extended and rigid
conformations, were prepared using ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Their …

The covalent coupling of complex macromolecules is a modern challenge in both chemistry
and biology. The development of efficient and chemoselective methods for polymer coupling …

We demonstrate the first example of cascade polymerization by combining olefin metathesis
and metallotropic 1, 3-shift reactions to form unique conjugated polyenynes. Rational design …

Fluorinated imidazo [1, 5-a] pyridine abnormal carbene ruthenium complexes (F-aImPy–Ru)
with a tricyclohexylphosphine copper chloride (Cy3P–CuCl) cocatalyst were developed for …

Ru-based metathesis catalysts employed in cyclopolymerization (CP) of 1, 6-heptadiyne
derivatives have promoted regioselective α-addition to alkynes, forming various conjugated …

Grubbs-type olefin metathesis catalysts are known to cyclopolymerize 1, 6-heptadiynes to
afford conjugated polyenes containing five-or six-membered carbocycles. Although high …
