Stereospecific Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization of <i>endo</i>-Dicyclopentadiene by Schrock–Hoveyda Catalyst and Novel Mo- and W-based Complexes. Development of Crystalline Hydrogenated Poly(<i>endo</i>-dicyclopentadiene)

Abstract

Abstract Novel crystalline polymer, crystalline hydrogenated poly(endo-dicyclopentadiene), was developed on the basis of the development of new cis- and iso-specific ROMP catalysts such as MoO(rac-5,5′,6,6′-Me4-3,3′-t-Bu2-2,2′-biphenolate)2.
