Polymerization of butadiene with organometallic compounds prepared by the reaction of benzene functional derivatives and lanthanides under the conditions of mechanical activation

Polymerization of butadiene initiated by organolanthanide compounds prepare d by the reaction of lanthanides with the benzene functional derivatives co nducted using mechanical activation (ball milling) was studied. It was show n that the stereospecificity of the organolanthanide compounds under invest igation is determined by the nature of the metal and the functional groups of benzene derivatives.
