Tungsten hexachloride alone as a catalyst for the metathetic polymerization of cyclic olefins

The polymerization of cyclic olefins may be initiated by tungsten hexachloride alone. The rate of polymerization is less than that normally obtained with bimetallic catalysts but the equilibrium conversion monomer is of the same order.
