Abstract
Maleic anhydride has been copolymerized with various cyclic olefins su ch as cyclohexene, cyclooctene, cyclododecene, norbornene, indene and thiophene. The resulting copolymers are alternating and the mechanism of the reaction can be explained by a charge-transfer complex. The inf luence of the starting cyclic olefin has been studied, and showing tha t the rate of the reaction largely depends on the nature of the olefin .
