Metathesis and Polymerization

Organometallic Reactions and Polymerization

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Chemistry ((LNC,volume 85))

Abstract

This article reviews olefin metathesis, its history, use of heterogeneous and well-defined molecular catalysts, mechanism related to organometallic chemistry and application of the reactions. Group VI and VIII transition metal catalysts are the most common in the olefin metathesis, although several other transition metal compounds also catalyze the reaction. The olefin metathesis is used in the ring-opening polymerization of the strained cyclic olefins, while acyclic unsaturated molecules can also be adopted as the monomer of the polymerization, and the substrate for the ring-closing metathesis or cross metathesis reactions. Application of the olefin metathesis is extended to synthesis of the new functionalized polymers, organometallic compounds, organic compounds from marine animals, and interlocked molecular systems.
