This reaction appears to be a unique feature of the ruthenium initiator system since termination of molybdenum-initiated polymerisations by molecular oxygen results in the formation of a polymer with double the expected molecular weight; this is due to a further reaction between the aldehyde end-group and the molybdenum alkylidene remaining in solution.
