A dual seven-membered cyclic carbonate/olefin monomer was synthesized from CO<sub>2</sub> and <i>cis</i>-1,4-butenediol and polymerized. The properties of the polymer were controlled using divergent catalytic strategies toward the stereochemistry of the olefin. Ring-opening polymerization of the cyclic carbonate using an organocatalytic approach retained the <i>cis</i>-stereoconfiguration of the olefin and yielded a hard semicrystalline polymer (<i>T</i><sub>m</sub> 115 °C). Ring-opening metathe ...[more]
