    Overture

    The development of the subject is traced from its origins in the discovery of ring-opening polymerization of cycloalkenes and the disproportionation of olefins, via the demonstration of double bond cleavage to...

    Tacticity in Polymers Initiated by Metathesis Polymerization: Effect of Catalyst

    Tacticity is defined in relation to ring opening metathesis polymerization and some predictions about tacticity are made on the basis of a mechamsm in which the propagating metal-carbene complex has a chiral m...

    The Metathesis Polymerization of Norbornene and Its Derivatives Initiated By Tungsten-Carbene Complexes: Relative Stability of the Intermediate Tungstenacyclo-Butane Complexes

    The early stages of the metathesis polymerization of norbomene and some of its endo derivatives, initiated by tungsten-carbene complexes of the type W(CR1R2)(OR3)2Br2.GaBr3, were followed in CD2Cl2 at 200–260 K b...
