Abstract

The preparation of a polymer-supported ruthenium alkylidene metathesis catalyst is described. This immobilized catalyst has been used to initiate a ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene derivatives onto a polymer support to prepare novel high-loading resins for use in combinatorial chemistry.
