In this talk, recent advances from my laboratory will be discussed within the context of initiator design for ring-expansion metathesis polymerization (REMP). Specifically, the implementation of novel macrocyclic ruthenium benzylidene initiators for REMP methodology development will be disclosed. Structure-function relationships between new classes of cyclic polymers made accessible through rational REMP initiator design will also be discussed.

New directions in cyclic polymer synthesis via ruthenium-mediated ring-expansion metathesis polymerization
