The three title monomers were polymerized using a variety of Ru‐, Ir‐, Mo‐, W‐ and Re‐based metathesis catalyst systems to yield polymers having a wide range of cis double bond contents in each case. The 13 C NMR spectra of the polymers were interpreted in terms of cis/trans , head/tail and m/r microstructures. No head‐tail bias was observed in any of the polymers.
