Abstract
Metathesis polymers of norbornene and 1-methylnorbornene were prepared using a well-defined aryloxy(chloro)neopentylidene tungsten initiator which behaves in a stereo and regioselective manner giving predominantly cis polymers and a strong head-to-tail bias in the case of 1-methylnorbornene. This is in accord with the observation that this initiator is also very stereoselective in acyclic metathesis.
