Geometric requirements for living anionic polymerization: polymerization of rotationally constrained 1,3-dienes
Ramona D. Barent, Manfred Wagner, Holger Frey
Abstract
1,3-Dienes with prescribed cisoid geometry are capable of homo- and copolymerization with isoprene, whereas a transoid geometry prevents coordination with both double bonds, and hence no polymerization in cyclohexane occurs.
