A wide variety of mono‐, di‐ and multifunctional allyl ethers and related compounds are readily polymerized using a newly discovered polymerization reaction which has been termed: a transition metal‐catalyzed tandem isomerization and cationic polymerization. Employing dicobalt octacarbonyl in combination with organosilanes, the polymerization of these monomers takes place rapidly to give high molecular weight polymers.
