Microwave-Assisted Polymerization of Phenylacetylenes
Metathesis Polymerisation of phenylacetylenes using in situ generated (arene)M(CO)(3) complexes under unconventional microwave energy condition was achieved successfully. The reaction time was reduced to 1 hour in contrast to refluxing conditions of 24 hours.
