Abstract
The title monomers 1 and 2 were polymerized by Ruβ, Irβ, Moβ, Wβ and Reβbased metathesis catalysts to yield polymers with cis contents ranging from 10% to at least 90% for 1 and 23β60% for 2. Assignments of the ^13^C NMR spectra were made. No significant headβtail bias was observed in either polymer. A highβtrans polymer made from the optically active endo monomer ((β)β1) was atactic, while highβcis polymers could be either atactic or biased towards syndiotactic, depending on the catalyst.

13C NMR spectra of the three title polymers have been determined for polymers of different tacticities. Assignments to the various possible HWHT/TT and m/r dyad structures were made. These were facilitated by the use of optically active monomers in the case of 1 and 3. In the precursor polymers the
