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...
