| Abstract: | Summary: Advances in design of latent ruthenium phenylindenylidene catalysts bearing salicylaldimine ligands for ring-opening metathesis polymerization are described. The presence of the substituents in ortho position in N-aryl ring of salicylaldimine ligand has been found to be the main factor determining the catalyst stability. The best of the studied catalysts after acid activation offers activity comparable to that of the dichloride systems in ring-opening metathesis polymerization of DCPD, while maintaining very high stability in the monomer solution. |
