Norbornene Addition Polymerization with Catalysts Based on Transition Metal Compounds: 2008-2018

This review summarizes the data on the addition polymerization of norbornene catalyzed by various transition metal complexes published over the period of 2008-2018. The interest in the addition polynorbornenes is due to their dielectric, mechanical, and optical properties, which makes them attractive for use in the microelectronic industry and optics. The regularities of polymerization using catalysts based on Ti, Ir, Ni, Pd, and Cu compounds are considered.
