Abstract
Tungsten hexachloride is shown to be an effective catalyst for the selective ring-opening polymerization of α-methylene cyclic ethers. However, it is difficult to suggest a mechanism for the reaction. The mode of polymerization and the structure of the polymers are analogous to the cationic polymerization with BF 3
