11.18 - Ring-opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP)

Advances in the design and synthesis of well-defined transition metal alkylidene complexes are reviewed, and discussed in context of their utility for ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Challenges associated with controlled ROMP of functionalized cycloolefins, particularly low-strain mon...

Summary:Advances in the design and synthesis of well-defined transition metal alkylidene complexes are reviewed, and discussed in context of their utility for ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Challenges associated with controlled ROMP of functionalized cycloolefins, particularly low-strain monomers and functionalized norbornenes, are highlighted, and recent developments in the construction of ROMP-based materials are surveyed.
