Stereospecific ring-opening metathesis polymerization of endo-dicyclopentadiene by Schrock-Hoveyda catalyst and novel Mo- and W-based complexes. Development of crystalline hydrogenated poly(endo-dicyclopentadiene)
Novel crystalline polymer, crystalline hydrogenated poly (endo-dicyclopentadiene), was developed on the basis of the development of new cis- and iso-specific ROMP catalysts such as MoO(rac-5,5',6,6'-Me-4-3,3'-t-Bu-2-2,2'-biphenolate)(2).
