Ring-opening metathesis polymerization in which chain termination and irreversible chain transfer are absent.
Note:
Ring-opening metathesis polymerizations should not be described as living if there is a non-zero probability of chain termination (e.g., due to side reactions consuming some part of the catalyst) or irreversible chain transfer (e.g., due to backbiting).
