38. ROMP of endo-n-alkyl norbornene dicarboxyimides with catalyst 1 gave polymers with PDI of 1.3, see: E. Khosravi, W. J. Feast, A. A. Al-Hajaji, T. Leejarkpai, J. Mol. Catal. A 2000, 160, 1. Crude solutions of polymers (i.e. without precipitation) were subjected to GPC analysis resulting in clean traces that displayed low PDIs. These traces show that the low PDIs are not a consequence of fractionation of polymers of low molecular weight by precipitation.
