A novel iron-catalyzed Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP) of olefins, which leads to several new catalytic reactions and enables the synthesis of new polymeric materials. New polymeric materials (i.e. Polydicyclopentadiene, Polyoxanorbornene and Cyclooctene-based polyme... Read more

The production of alcohols, amines, amides, imines, and esters is central to pharmaceuticals, polymers, dyes, fragrances, and agrochemicals, but conventional syntheses require harsh conditions, toxic reagents, and expensive noble metals. Synthesis of amines, alcohols, amides, imin... Read more
