## Abstract The Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP) of a series of cyclic alkenes bearing heteroatom functionality has been performed using a classical WCl~6~βbased catalyst system. All of the alkenes studied exhibited significantly slower polymerization rates compared with the hydrocarbo

β¦ Synopsis
A kinetic study of the polymerization of cyclopentene initiated by the metathesis catalyst WCl6/AliBu3 has shown the presence of termination reactions The termination processes (probably there are more than one), are second order in nature and also result in the reduction of the oxidation state of the transition metal. Reactivation of the transition metal complex towards metathesis polymerization can be effected by the addition of oxygen to a dead system.

## Abstract The metathesis transformations of cyclohexanes and cyclohexenes bearing allylic and/or propargylic ether substituents has been investigated. A range of products containing fused 6,8βbicyclic ring systems resulting from alkene and/or enyne metatheses were obtained using first and second
In the cationic polymerization of trioxane initiated by BF, etheratc in cyclohexane solution, the rate of polymerization may be practically zero after a long period at 56 Β°. If the reaction mixture is then cooled at a controlled rate, it is possible to obtain further increments both in yield and in
Polymerization experiments with styrene in benzene at 60 Β°, initiated by benzoyl peroxide, covering a wide range of concentration of both monomer and initiator are reported; the results cannot be explained in terms of the classical rate relationship with Rp oc [I] tfz [MI.

The photosensitized polymerization of styrene in bulk was investigated in the temperature range of 25-70Β°C with respect to the average rate coefficient of bimolecular chain termination k t , especially its chain length dependence at low conversions, by means of pulsed laser polymerization (PLP).
