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 …

The rate of living ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of N-hexyl-exo-
norbornene-5, 6-dicarboximide initiated by Grubbs third-generation catalyst precursors …

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 …

An unsaturated polymer's cis/trans-olefin content has a significant influence on its properties.
For polymers obtained by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), the cis/trans …

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 …

For decades, cyclopolymerization of α, ω-diyne derivatives has been an effective method to
synthesize various soluble polyacetylenes containing five-to seven-membered rings in the …

Understanding the stability and reactivity of the propagating species is critical in living
polymerization. Therefore, most living olefin metathesis polymerizations require the …

Cyclopolymerization is a powerful method for synthesizing polyacetylenes containing four‐to
seven‐membered rings. However, the structure of the repeat unit only consists of mono …

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