Abstract
When methyl methacrylate is polymerized with alkyllithium as initiator in imidazolium ionic liquids, low molecular weight polymers are formed in high yield. The head-groups are, however, not those alkyl groups that are present in alkyllithium, but predominantly those that are originally present at 1-position in imidazolium cation indicating extensive chain transfer to imidazolium ionic liquid.
