Abstract

Pseudo-tetrablock copolymers comprised of ethylene and 5-norbomen-2-yl acetate (1), were synthesized using the initiator system (L(i)Pr2)Ni(eta1-CH2Ph)(PMe3)(2)[(L(i)Pr2) = N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2-(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)propanamide] and 2.5 equivalents of Ni(COD)2 [bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene) nickel.
