Abstract
AbstractVarious methods of hydrogenating ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) polymers were investigated as part of an effort to improve their stability and increase their usefulness as matrix materials for nanocluster synthesis. Hydrogenation with Pd/BaSO4 catalyst in highâpressure hydrogen gas was only partly successful and limited to unfunctionalized polymers such as polymethyltetracyclododecene. Block copolymers containing phosphine or carboxylic acid functionalities were successfully hydrogenated by diimide generated in situ from p toluenesulfonylhydrazide. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
