33. The MALDI-TOF spectrum (see Figure S5 in the Supporting Information) of this sample also showed a bimodal distribution having the higher molecular weight peaks for the cyclopentyl end-capped polymer and the lower molecular weight peaks for the cyclohexyl/cyclohexenyl and water end-capped polymers. Such end groups (see references [17, 22, and 23]) and bimodality/broad molecular weight distributions (see references [15, 22, and 28]) have been frequently observed by other groups.
34. The molecular weights are not precisely one half those obtained in the literature because of differences in the size-exclusion chromatography instruments, columns, and calibration methods. The molecular weight obtained using the known catalyst in entry 9 of Table 1 is discounted because of the large PDI value.
