Zm. Sabirov et al., KINETIC REGULARITIES OF PIPERYLENE POLYME RIZATION WITH NDCL3-CENTER-DOT-3TBP-AL(I-C4H9)(3) CATALYTIC-SYSTEM, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 39(1), 1997, pp. 141-145
On the basis of experimental data and quantum-chemical calculations of
the electronic structure of the models of active centers it is shown
that the mechanism of kinetic anti-stereocontrol of the polymer micros
tructure is realized in polymerization of piperylene with NdCl3 . 3TBP
-Al(i-C4H9)(3) catalytic system. Upon insertion of a diene into the ch
ain, the forming anti-form of the terminal unit has time to isomerize
to a thermodynamically more advantageous syn-form.
