Abstract
Ruthenium alkylidene mediated ring-opening metathesis polymerizations (Ru-ROMP) are evaluated in green chemical solvents to increase their green metrics. The Ru-ROMP of representative monomers of norbornene, oxa-norbornene, and cyclooctadiene were compared in reference solvents (tetrahydrofuran and chloroform) and green solvents (2-methyl tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, dimethyl carbonate, and acetone). The results showed that the use of a green solvent is promising. All green solvents exhibited excellent Ru-ROMP efficiency while their chain length controls were sensitive to solvents and monomers. Among the candidates, dimethyl carbonate expressed the general applicability of various combinations of monomers and solvents.
