Abstract
The ring opening metathesis polymerisation of uoromethyl)tricyclo[4.2. 2.0(2,5)]deca-3,7,9-triene using Schrock-type molybdenum alkylidene in itiators yields precursor polyacetylene with well defined chain-ends, molecular weights and polydispersities. The precursor polyenes can be thermally converted to the equivalent polyene structures by eliminatio n of hexafluoroxylene. Truly monodisperse soluble oligoene sequences w ere separated and isolated using reversed-phase HPLC techniques.
