Abstract
Various well-defined ruthenium alkylidene complexes bearing N-heterocyclic carbene ligands were used for the ring-opening metathesis polymerization of 7-methylnorbornene and 7-methylnorbornadiene. The influence of the ligands on the tacticity of the resulting polymers was examined and compared with polymers obtained using the Grubbs' catalyst. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A .
