a

Polymerization conditions: 4 M ([VL] + [tnCL]) (2 mmol total), 2.5 mol % 1/BEMP (each), 0.5 mol % benzyl alcohol in C6D6.

b

Percent conversion to polymer obtained by 1H NMR.

c

Determined by GPC (CH2Cl2) vs polystyrene standards.

d

Determined by DSC (N2); no Tg were observed >−70 °C, the limit of our DSC.

e

Determined by TGA (N2).

f

Polymerization conditions: tnCL (2M, 1 mmol), 5 mol % 1/BEMP (each), 1 mol % benzyl alcohol in C6D6. n/a = not observed above −70 °C, the limit of our DSC.
