08994 IUPAC Gold Book - electron-transfer ring-opening metathesis polymerization 10.1351/goldbook.08994 08994 current acronym: ET-ROMP 1 Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) proceeding through one-electron redox processes in the absence of a metal carbene initiator. ET-ROMP may be initiated by single electron-transfer to a vinyl ether from a photoredox catalyst or by electrochemical processes to create a radical cation as the kinetic-chain carrier.
