The polymerization of conjugated dialkenes with transition metal catalysts began in 1954, soon after the first results on the polymerization of propylene had been obtained. The first stereoregular dialkene polymer obtained was a polyisoprene with a structure similar to that of natural rubber.1 An isoprene polymer with a structure identical to that of natural gutta percha was obtained soon after,2 along with stereoregular polymers of butadiene and pentadiene.2–4
