Homopolymerization of 7-methylenebicyclo[4.1.0]heptane (0.18 g) using the Co complex ([Co] = 1.7 mM) and MMAO ([monomer]/[Co]/[Al] = 200/1/300) at -40°C produced 0.028 g of polymer (16% yield) after 1 h. The amount of the homopolymer is much smaller than the copolymer obtained from the reaction under 1 atm of ethylene atmosphere (0.18 g).
