Zirconocene/methylaluminoxane catalysts made‐to‐measure (with zirconocenes such as 1 ) facilitate statistical incorporation of bulky cycloolefins such as dimethanooctahydronapthalene into a polyethylene chain. The new cycloolefin copolymers are extremely thermally stable and show very promising properties for optoelectronic and technical applications.
