Acyclic diene metathesis polymerization (ADMET) enables convenient transfer of sequential information of the designed monomers to the corresponding sequence-regulated copolymers. In this study, two structurally symmetric monomers, M1 and M2, were synthesized via atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) of diethyl meso-2,5- dibromohexanedioate with 1,5-hexadiene and 1,7-octadiene, respectively. Thus, sequenced segment of VB-EA-EA-VB (VB and EA represent vinyl bromide and ethyl acrylate, respectively) was incorporated into the ADMET diene monomers. ADMET polymerization of these two monomers with Grubbs first generation catalyst (Grubbs-I) was performed in CH2Cl2 at 40℃ for 5 days under nitrogen purge. Effects of catalyst amount, monomer concentration and methanol precipitation on the M p and PDI of polymers were investigated by GPC, and the structures of the formed polymers were characterized by NMR. Our results indicate that using 3.0 mol% of Grubbs-I to monomer can afford polymers with high M p . Moreover, selective precipitation in methanol enables complete removal of low molecular weight components from the crude products. Meanwhile, M2 exhibits higher ADMET polymerization reactivity than M1 due to its capability of suppressing negative neighboring group effect.
