Concerning the mechanism of ring-opening polymerization by coordinate catalysts: The 2D homonuclear J-resolved spectrum of poly(cyclohexene oxide)
The use of 2D homonuclear J-resolved H-1 NMR spectroscopy in the examination of the methine region of poly(cyclohexene oxide) formed by polymerization of cyclohexene oxide employing the Union Carbide calcium-amide-alkoxide catalyst reveals that the majority of the ring opening occurs by backside attack.
