The catalyst system may also contain a compound containing one or more hydroxyl or sulfhydryl groups in a molar ratio to component (1) of about 0 : 1 to 2 : 1, respectively.

Catalysts for ring-opening copolymerization of cycloolefins

A catalyst for the ring-opening copolymerization of a hexachlorocyclopentadiene-1,5-cyclooctadiene adduct and a cycloolefin, other than cyclohexene, having 4 to 12 carbon atoms and containing at least one non-conjugated vinylene double bond. Owing to modification by oxy bidentate-type ligands, the chlorotungsten catalyst system affords a more favorable comonomer reactivity ratio and is thus utilized. The catalyst comprises a compound of (a) the reaction product of tungsten hexachloride and a 1,2- or 1,3- dioxy compound; and a compound (b) having the formula R-AlCl 2 where R is an alkyl group having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms.
