when heated above 150 °c, dicyclopentadiene undergoes retro-diels-alder reaction yield cyclopentadiene, popular ligand in inorganic chemistry. reaction reversible , @ room temperature cyclopentadiene dimerizes reform dicyclopentadiene.
hydrogenation of dicyclopentadiene gives endo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene on reaction aluminium chloride @ elevated temperature rearranges adamantane.
dicyclopentadiene can used monomer in polymerization reactions, either in olefin polymerization or in ring-opening metathesis polymerization. example, using olefin polymerization catalysts, copolymers can formed ethylene or styrene polymerizing norbornene double bond. using ring-opening metathesis polymerization homopolymer polydicyclopentadiene formed.
