Coordinated polymerization of the bicyclo‐[2.2.1]‐heptene‐2 ring system (norbornene) in polar media

Abstract Norbornene and a derivative have been polymerized to high molecular weight materials by use of the hydrated trichlorides of ruthenium, osmium, and iridium in alcoholic solvents. Structural studies on these polymers indicate that a major portion of the polymer repeating unit consists of cycl... View More
