Preparation of soluble poly(phenylenevinylenes) by ring opening metathesis polymerisatioN

This thesis describes the synthesis and characterisation of a selection of ring functionalised cyclophanediene monomers. The strained monomers can be polymerised by ring opening metathesis polymerisation (ROMP) using the third generation Grubbs initiator to yield soluble and narrow polydispersity po...
