Abstract
Abstract The radiation-induced cationic oligomerization of α-methyl-styrene was carried out in dilute hydrocarbon solutions at 0°C. Under rigourously dry conditions, oligomers are produced with relatively high yields in branched alkanes such as neopentane, 3-methylpentane, and dimethylbutanes. The oligomers contain alkyl groups derived from the solvent molecules. The average molecular weight of the oligomers decreases with decreasing monomer concentration. The formation of the oligomers is explained in terms of the chain transfer to the solvent molecules.
