Ring-opening metathesis polymerization of Norbornene-derived cyclic olefins using Iminomethyl-hydroxyl-ligated tungsten Complexes: Fast reaction and tunable cis/trans selectivity

초록

Highly active tungsten complexes supported by (Z)-1-(((2-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol (LA) and (Z)-4-chloro-2-(((2-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)phenol (LB) were synthesized and characterized. The ring- opening metathesis polymerization activities were assessed using i Bu 3 Al as the co-initiator at room temperature. A 100% conversion of norbornene to high-molecular-weight polynorbornene (PNB) was obtained within 10 min with tunable cis/trans selectivity of resultant polymer depending on the ligand architecture.
