31. 1H NMR spectra were measured in a sealed high-pressure NMR tube under a pressure of 10 bar Ar.
32. 2 (0.45 mL). After addition of degassed cyclooctene (81.4 μL, 625 μmol; > 99.5% (GC); Fluka) the NMR tube was sealed and shaken. The NMR spectra were recorded at 23°C on a Bruker DRX 500 spectrometer at 500 MHz. b) Polymerization of cyclooctene with 1a (0.05 μmol; Strem Chemicals Inc.) as catalyst was carried out under identical reaction conditions.
33. The product distribution was analyzed by GC-MS.
