Abstract

The synthesis of cyclic polyolefins prepared using a supported, molecular ring-expansion metathesis polymerization catalyst is described. The synthesis of the catalysts, themselves, is described in detail. Additionally, thorough physical characterization of cyclic polymers with comparison to linear polymer analogues is reported.
