High Molecular Weight Polyester Obtained by Polymerization of Dimethylketene Using Metallocene Initiators: A Step toward...
Published in Macromolecular rapid communications
In this report, highly active metallocene initiators are used for the polymerization of a ketene monomer, dimethylketene, which typically contains two adjacent double bonds (R2 CCO). By using the methylzirconocene methyltriarylborate complex (Cp2 ZrMe+ MeB(C6 F5 )3 - ) as the activation system, associated with the possible cleavage of CC and CO...
