61. n= 2.2 (at 50°C, initial monomer concentration=270 μmol/mL), Ru- (A) 40 equiv].The results also indicate that certain optimizations are necessary for obtainment of high molecular weight polymers. The results also clearly suggest that continuous removl of ethylene (and initial monomer concentration, amount of ruthenium catalyst) should be the key for obtainment of high molecular weight polymer, as we previously emphasized,8,10,11 and the effect of solvent may not be very important for obtainment of the high molecular weight polymers (if the resultant polymers are soluble).
