  "abstract": "<p>Today&#39;s olefin metathesis catalysts show high reactivity, selectivity and functional group tolerance and allow the design of new syntheses of precisely functionalised polymers. Here we describe a general &quot;one-pot&quot; synthesis for narrow polydispersity bis-end-functional (=homotelechelic) ROMP polymers exploiting the propagating ruthenium complex&#39; inherent selectivity for strained norbornenes over acyclic internal olefins. This approach represents a straightforward general method of homotelechelic polymers carrying almost any functional end group (within the limitations of the catalyst&#39;s functionality tolerance). Complete pre-functionalisation of the initiator is realised&nbsp;<em>in-situ</em>within minutes and without the need of further purification steps. The excess acyclic olefin re-enters the catalytic cycle after monomer consumption is complete giving a homotelechelic polymer.&nbsp;<sup>1</sup>H-NMR spectroscopic and MALDI-ToF-MS analysis show highly efficient end group functionalisation.)&nbsp;</p>",
