Abstract
Abstract Polyalkenamers are produced by a ring-opening polymerization of cyclic olefins employing a catalyst system comprising (1) a tungsten or molybdenum compound; (2) an organoaluminum compound; (3) a vinylic chloride, bromide or iodide; and, optionally, (4) a compound containing a hydroxyl or sulfhydryl group; and conducting the polymerization in the presence of an ethylenically unsaturated halogenated hydrocarbon wherein one of the double bonded carbon atoms is substituted by chlorine, bromine or iodine or halogenated alkyl or aryl and at least one hydrogen atom.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
In a catalyst system suitable for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic olefins comprising (a) a salt of tungsten or of molybdenum and (b) an organoaluminum compound, the improvement wherein said catalyst system consists essentially of said components (a) and (b) in a molar ratio (a):(b) of less than 1:1 and (c) of vinylic halide halogenated hydrocarbon wherein one of the double bonded carbon atoms is substituted by one chlorine, bromine or iodine atom and at least one of the double bonded carbon atoms bears a hydrogen atom, the molar ratio of (a) to (c) being less than 100:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
In a catalyst system suitable for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic olefins comprising (a) a salt of tungsten or of molybdenum and (b) an organoaluminum compound, the improvement wherein said catalyst system consists essentially of said components (a) and (b) in a molar ratio (a):(b) of less than 1:1 and (c) of vinylic halide halogenated hydrocarbon wherein one of the double bonded carbon atoms is substituted by one chlorine, bromine or iodine atom and at least one of the double bonded carbon atoms bears a hydrogen atom, the molar ratio of (a) to (c) being less than 100:1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A catalyst system according to claim 1, further comprising (d) a compound selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and tert.-butanol in a molar ratio of (a) to (d) of about 1:0.1 to 1:2.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
