The development of well-defined catalysts for ring-opening olefin metathesis polymerizations (ROMP)

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 102))

Abstract

The present article reviews the development of well-defined transition metal compounds which catalyze the ring-opening polymerization of strained cyclic olefins by the olefin metathesis reaction (ROMP). Several titana- and tantalacyclobutane compounds and tungsten- and molybdenum carbenes polymerize norbornene and norbornene derivatives by a “living” mechanisms, thus producing polymers of controlled molecular weights with narrow molecular weight distributions. Some of these systems have been successfully applied to the synthesis of block and graft copolymers. Studies on Ru-based catalysts resulted in the development of olefin metathesis polymerizations in aqueous solutions.
