Abstract	Researchers have demonstrated tandem ring-opening/ring-closing metathesis (RO/RCM) polymerization of monomers containing two cyclopentene moieties and postmodification via insertion polymerization. Using this method, they efficiently formed well-defined polymers by tandem cascade RO/RCM reaction pathway. The polymers could be transformed to new A,B-alternating copolymers via a sequential cross metathesis reaction with a diacrylate.
