Abstract
Nothing ROMP with that: Unsymmetrical double-stranded ladderphanes are obtained by sequential ring-opening metathesis polymerization and Glaser oxidation of norbornene appended with bisalkyne moieties. Hydrolysis of these ladderphanes gives substituted poly(m-phenylene butadiynylene)s with narrow polymer dispersity index (PDI) and well-controlled degree of polymerization.
