Improved molecular weight control in ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) reactions with ru-based olefin metathesis catalysts using n. donors and acid: a kinetic and mechanistic investigation

The effect of the addition of H3PO4 on the ROMP activity of cyclooctene (COE) with first- [Cl2(PCy3) 2Ru=CHPh] and second-generation [(H2IMeS)Cl 2(PCy3)Ru=CHPh] Grubbs' catalysts 1 and 4 (Cy = cyclohexyl, Ph = phenyl, Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl (mesityl)), their inhibited mixtures with 1-methy...
