Abstract
In this communication, we report the synthesis and ring-opening metath esis polymerisation (ROMP) of a 5-substituted cyclooctene-derivative, iphenyl-4-yloxy)undecyl]cyclooct-4-enecarboxylate. A highly active mol ybdenum-carbene was used as initiator. The prepared polymer is liquid crystalline and shows a nematic phase between -5 and 53 degrees C.
