Abstract

AbstractAnionic polymerization of 2‐vinylpyridine has been studied, initiated either by dialkyl and diaryl magnesium or by living oligomers in tetrahydrofuran solution at 20°C. Spectrophotometric observations indicate the existence of stable active species with different structures. Kinetic data for propagation and viscosimetric measurements on two‐ended polymers agree with a cyclic structure of living polymers and lead us to the conclusion of the existence of reactive negative “tripleions.”
