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 …

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

Terminal alkynes display high reactivity toward Ru-carbene metathesis catalysts. However,
the formation of a less reactive bulky carbene hinders their homopolymerization …

Due to their unique physical and chemical features, dendronized polymers (DPs) have
received increasing attention in various fields such as hierarchically structured materials …

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 …

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

On the basis of a combined experimental and computational study, a novel method for
preparing fully conjugated polyenynes via cascade metathesis and metallotropy (M&M) …

Living cyclocopolymerization through the alternating insertion of an isocyanide and allene
into palladium–carbon bond was developed based on the controlling the reactivity of the …
