Ni-complex-catalysed addition polymerisation of 2-phenyl-1-methylenecylopropane to afford a polymer with cyclopropylidene groups.
pi-Allyl-nickel complexes initiated addition polymerisation of 2-phenyl-1-methylenecyclopropane to give a polymer with three-membered rings; the formed polymer showed a high Tg and negligible thermal decomposition up to 300 degrees C.
