This comprehensive review surveys recent research trends in the addition polymerization of
functionalized norbornenes for the macromolecular design of high performance materials in …

The methods for synthesis of promising norbornene monomers from norbornadiene and
quadricyclane are summarized. A strategy for their synthesis is discussed, combining …

Well-defined single-component and tolerant Ru-, Mo-, and W-catalysts have been earlier
developed for ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene and its derivatives …

Norbornylized seed oils, ie, norbornylized linseed oil (NLO), norbornylized soybean oil
(NSO), and norbornylized high oleic soybean oil (NHOSO), were synthesized via the Diels …

Herein four modified polymers were prepared from readily available addition poly (5-vinyl-2-
norbornene)(PVNB) and their gas-transport properties were studied in detail …

Herein the stereoselective two‐step synthesis of pure exo‐5‐trimethylsilylnorbornene is
reported. The monomer proved to be highly reactive in both metathesis and addition …

α, ω-Dienes are an important class of monomers due to their utility in the synthesis of
cyclopolyolefins and reactive polyolefin intermediates. In this contribution, the …

Nickel-and palladium-based catalyst systems were developed to convert 5-ethylidene-2-
norbornene (ENB) to oligomers and polymers with highly controllable molecular weights …

The synthesis and the characterization of a series of phosphine adducts of (imido) vanadium
(IV) dichloride complexes of the type V (═ NR) Cl2 (PMe2Ph) 2 [R= 2, 6-Cl2-Ph (1), 2, 6-i …

Here, we report the synthesis of new functional monomers of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) by
esterification with carboxylic acids that can be derived from biomass. We demonstrate that …
