I. Applications of the olefin metathesis reaction. II. Application of carbon-hydrogen bond activation to the surface oxidation of polypropylene and polyethylene

Applications of the olefin metathesis reaction to the areas of conducting polymers and crosslinked systems were investigated. Metathesis of cis-3,4-dichlorocyclobutene and 3-acetoxycyclobutene was studied with the WCl$\sb6$/SnMe$\sb4$ and Re$\sb2$O$\sb7$/SnMe$\sb4$ catalyst systems to produce proces...
