Partial bromination or epoxidation has been used to confirm the tacticities of several stereoregular polymers made through ROMP methods with well-defined Mo or W initiators. Tacticities were proven for cis,isotactic and cis,syndiotactic poly(norbornene), poly(3-methyl-3-phenylcyclopropene), and poly(endo,anti-tetracyclododecene). Various limitations can stop application of these proofs in general to stereoregular polymers prepared through ROMP.
