Abstract
⺠The mechanism of Pd-catalyzed polymerization of norbornene is elucidated. ⺠Insertion of the second norbornene monomer is the slowest step of initiation. ⺠The activation barrier of initiation is much higher than that of propagation. ⺠The resting state is a Pd complex with two norbornene and the growing chain. ⺠The rate of initiation of trichloro-allyl Pd catalyst is slower than propagation.
