Front Cover: Plant oils are valuable renewable resources, especially for the polymer industry. Due to their inherent double bond functionality they offer manifold possibilities to introduce functional groups or to obtain polymers via olefin metathesis. Thus, monomers, platform chemicals and polymers can be obtained from these renewable resources in efficient catalytic one step reactions. Further details can be found in the article by M. A. R.
