Polymeric supports allow for the incorporation of useful main group functionalities into materials, with applications in self-healing materials, optoelectronic devices, and supported catalysts among others. Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) using main-group-functionalized monomers is a particularly advantageous approach, due to its high functional group scope, mild conditions, highly controlled polymerizations, and ability to generate diverse copolymer architectures.<br/>In this presentation, we demonstrate our recent work on ROMP-boranes: triarylborane-functionalized norbornenes, obtained through a flexible modular synthesis, which allow for the incorporation of diverse sterically and electronically tuned boranes into a variety of polymeric frameworks. This work investigates the catalytic and optical properties of these new polymeric materials.
