The palladium insertion polymerization catalysts (bipy)Pd(CH 3 )L + OTf - have been found to mediate a second class of polymerization reaction: the ring-opening polymerization of heterocycles. Unlike traditional cationic ring-opening processes, this polymerization is found to proceed via an unusual series of metal-based reactions, including novel steps which allow the coupling of insertion monomers (CO and norbornene) with ring-opened polymers.
