Highly Efficient Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP) Using New Ruthenium Catalysts Containing N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands

Christopher W. Bielawski, Robert Howard Grubbs

Open publisher page 580 citations

Abstract

Up to one hundred thousand equivalents of a variety of low-strain cyclic olefins, such as cyclooctadiene, cyclooctene, and several functionalized and sterically hindered derivatives, were polymerized by using highly active ruthenium-based ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) catalysts [Eq. (1)]. Efficient syntheses of other polymeric structures were also accomplished.
