Abstract

Various bisallylic ruthenium(IV) complexes were synthesized and tested as catalysts for the ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene. In presence of cocatalysts such as silanes or certain diazoalkanes a significant increase of the catalytic activity could be observed. With these highly efficient systems the ROMP of diolefinic norbornene derivatives (dicyclopentadiene, 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene, norbornadiene) and monomers containing functional groups was achieved (e.g. alcohols, acids, esters, amides, imides, ketones, aldehydes, ...).
