Abstract: The ring-opening polymerization of cyclopentene,cyclohexene,α-pinene and ter-pene catalyzed by Mo(CO)6 with CHnX4-n(n=0,1;X=Cl,Br)under UV irradiation hasbeen studied.It was found that addition of small amount of anhydrous AlCl3 promoted thepolymerization,The optimum conditions of polymerization were reported.

Key words: cyclopentene, cyclohexene, poly(α-pinene), polyterpene, ring-opening polymeriza-tion, hexacarbonylmolybdenum, aluminium trichloride
