Abstract
Depolymerization or molecular weight reduction of polymers and gelled polymers containing internal unsaturation along the polymer backbone is performed in the presence of a molybdenum or tungsten compounds having the structural formula: EQU M(NR.sub.1)(OR.sub.2).sub.2 (CHR.sub.3) PA1 wherein M is molybdenum or tungsten; PA1 R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are unsubstituted or halo-substituted alkyl, aryl, aralkyl groups or silicon-containing analogs thereof; PA1 R.sub.3 is an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl group of any substituent that results from the initial reaction between the M.dbd.CHR.sub.3 complex and an olefin treating agent.
