Ring opening of substituted cyclophanedienes by ruthenium‐based metathesis catalysts gives soluble phenylenevinylene homopolymers of well‐defined molecular weight with an alternating cis‐trans microstructure (see picture, R=OC 8 H 17 ). The living character of this polymerization is demonstrated by controlled chain extension.
