Abstract
The concept for preparing functional, high molecular weight poly(olefin)s via tandem ring-opening metathesis / vinyl insertion polymerization is reviewed. It is based on a reversible α-H-addition/α-H-elimination process occurring in tailor-made catalysts. Copolymerization of ethylene with cyclic olefins with these catalysts yields poly(olefin)s with double bonds in the main chain. These can then be converted into various functional groups. First accomplishments are reported. Particular attention is devoted to the current status of this approach, its limitations and to approaches to overcome these.
Keywords: Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), Vinyl insertion polymerization (VIP), Olefin, Ethylene, Norborn-2-ene.

Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
