ROMP of norbornene and oxanorbornene derivatives with pendant fluorophore carbazole and coumarin groups

Rubina Troiano et al.

Summary: A series of new (oxa)norbornene dicarboximide monomers, decorated with carbazole and coumarin as pendant fluorophore groups, were successfully polymerized by Grubbs' third generation catalyst G3 and cis-selective catalyst GZ. The nature of the spacer between the NDI unit and the chromophore did not affect the outcome of the polymerization. The polymers showed photoluminescence in solution and solid state, with a significant excimer emission observed for a carbazole-functionalized polymer film due to the high stereoregularity degree of the main chain.

Toward the Copolymerization of Propylene with Polar Comonomers

Stephen L. J. Luckham et al.

Summary: Polyolefins, including polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), are widely used in consumer products and can be enhanced by forming composites with other materials. To improve their compatibility with other materials, the inclusion of polar functionalities in the polymer chain is essential. Different transition metal catalysts have varying effects on achieving this goal, with late transition metal catalysts being more suitable for reactions with polar comonomers.
