Abstract
The stereospecific polymerization is one of the most critical topics in polymer sciences, due to the significant influence of tacticity on the properties of polymers. This review summarizes recent progress in stereospecific coordination polymerization mediated by rare earth metal complexes. The stereospecific coordination polymerization is achieved by optimizing the structures of ligands, the rare earth metal ions, and the polymerization conditions, while styrene, polar substituted styrenes, 2-vinylpyridine and other olefins are used as monomers. The properties of resulting polymers are significantly influenced by the structure of monomers, and the tacticity of polymers.
