Chain‐walking isomerization of the growing polymer end occurs during the cyclopolymerization of 1,6‐dienes catalyzed by Pd II complexes, and leads to polymers with trans ‐1,2‐disubstituted cyclopentane rings and polar functional groups located regularly along the linear polymer chain, as described by K. Osakada and co‐workers in their Communication on page 6141 ff.
