The in situ formation of a new initiator system for the syndiotactic anionic polymerization of methyl methacrylate in toluene at 0 degrees C
This paper reports on an efficient 'in-situ' one pot synthesis of an initiatior/ligand adduct, which can be used to initiate the anionic polymerization of methyl methacrylate in toluene at 0 degreesC. Predominantly syndiotactic PMMA is formed.
