W(CO)6/CBr4/hv — a new system for metathesis polymerisation

TLDR
In this paper, an optimization study of W(CO) 6 CBr 4 / hv is presented, where the active species are characterised by reaction with acetophenone and copolymers of phenylacetylene and norbornene.
Abstract
Metathesis polymerisation can be effected with many catalysts under a variety of conditions. The system described here, viz., W(CO) 6 CBr 4 / hv , induces polymerisation by in situ generation of the active species and has not been reported in the literature so far. In this paper, optimisation studies of this system, yields obtained with various monomers and characterisation of the active species are discussed. Variation of different parameters such as the ratio of W(CO) 6 :CBr 4 , the time of photolysis and the effect of solvents as well as that of the metal carbonyls have been studied. In addition, copolymers of phenylacetylene and norbornene have been synthesised. We have also attempted to characterise the active species responsible for the polymerisation by reaction with acetophenone.

Tungsten Oxo and Tungsten Imido Alkylidene N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes for the Visible-Light-Induced Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization of Dicyclopentadiene

TL;DR: In this article , a system for the visible-light-controlled ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of endo,endo-dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) was developed by combining thermally latent group 6 olefin initiators, whose vacant binding site is occupied by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), with a photoredox catalyst.
