Cover: Pd diimine complexes promote the polymerization of cyclopentenes, 1,6‐dienes, and 1,6,11‐trienes to afford polymers with a 1,2‐ or 1,3‐cyclopentane ring in every repeating unit. The C 2 symmetric complexes catalyze highly stereoselective polymerization. Some of the polymers show characteristic properties such as liquid crystallinity. Further details can be found in the article by D. Takeuchi on page 1545 .
