It's alive: A ring-strained alkyne based on dibenzo[a,e][8]annulene undergoes ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) to give a high-molecular-weight poly(ortho-phenylene) featuring alternating ethyl and ethynyl linkers along the polymer backbone. The molybdenum-alkylidyne-based catalyst system discriminates between strained and unstrained alkynes to yield a living polymer with an unparalleled low polydispersity.
