Abstract

AbstractStereospecific polymerization of vinyl alkyl ether was studied; various kinds of compounds, such as metal oxides, metal halides, metal oxyhalides, metal sulfate complexes and organometallic compounds‐Lewis acid complexes, being used at low temperature or room temperature. The relationship between the structures of catalysts and the stereoregularities of polymers is discussed, and it is found that tetrahedral compounds which have one active edge are especially useful for making the stereoregular polymers at room temperature. Also, the shorter the length of active edge, the more suitable the catalyst is for stereospecific polymerization. On the basis of these experimental results, a mechanism of stereospecific polymerization of vinyl alkyl ether is proposed.
