Ring-expansion metathesis polymerization (REMP) has shown potential as an efficient strategy to access cyclic macromolecules. Current approaches that utilize cyclic olefin feedstocks suffer from poor functional group tolerance, low initiator stability, and slow reaction kinetics. Improvements to current initiators will address these issues in order to develop more versatile and user-friendly technologies. Herein, we report a reinvigorated tethered ruthenium-benzylidene initiator, CB6, that utilizes design features from ubiquitous Grubbs-type initiators that are regularly applied in linear polymerizations. We report the controlled synthesis of functionalized cyclic poly(norbornene)s and demonstrate that judicious ligand modifications not only greatly improve kinetics but also lead to enhanced initiator stability. Overall, CB6 is an adaptable platform for the study and application of cyclic macromolecules via REMP.

New indenylidene-type second generation catalysts bearing modified unsymmetrically substituted N- heterocyclic carbene ligands were synthesized. The com- plexes contain an N-mesityl and N?-nitrobenzyl substituted NHC ligand. The precursors of free carbenes—imidazolinium salts—were obtained in an easy and environment- friendly way (under aqueous or neat conditions). The new catalysts were prepared by reaction of in situ generated carbenes with a 1st generation indenylidene catalyst, containing pyridine ligands instead of tricyclohexylphosphine. The complexes were tested in RCM, CM, and ene-yne metathesis model reactions in commercial-grade solvents in air. Their activities were compared with that of commercially available indenylidene catalyst. The structures of complexes and their stability were investigated using static DFT calculations with mixed basis set.

A short and modular synthesis of symmetrically and non-symmetrically substituted bisimidazolinylene N-heterocyclic carbene precursors is described. Two methods to establish dicopper(I) complexes of these compounds depending on the steric shielding of the
