[GRAPHICS]
The preparation of a polymer-supported ruthenium alkylidene metathesis cata
lyst is described. This immobilized catalyst has been used to initiate a ri
ng-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene derivatives onto a polym
er support to prepare novel high-loading resins for use in combinatorial ch
emistry.
