Abstract
AbstractA theoretical interpretation of the mechanism of stereospecific cationic polymerization in a homogeneous system at low temperature is given. The existance of a counterion in the vicinity of a charged carbon atom of a growing polymer ion is assumed and a repulsive interaction is considered to be between the substituent of the attacking monomer and that of the polymer. The most probable geometrical conformation of a monomer and a polymer ion in the transition state is determined by the magnitude of stabilization due to the overlap between atomic orbitals of ion and monomer. Our experimental results can be explained satisfactorily by this mechanism.
