Experimental details are provided in the Supplementary Methods; EDC and DMAP are N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and 4-dimethylaminopyridine, respectively. The ring closing metathesis and entropically-driven ring opening metathesis co-polymerization steps used Grubbs second generation catalysts.
