The catalyzed polymerization of cycloolefins may lead to a ring retention polymer product or to a polyalkenamer. The homogeneous catalysts, derived from V, W, Mo, and Re transition metal complexes, normally require the synergistic use of an alkylaluminum cocatalyst. Trans ‐1, 5‐poly‐alkenamers exhibit elastomeric properties and might be suitable for tire manufacture.
