Abstract

Addition polymerizations involving soluble organometallic species have received intensive attention in recent years with special reference to the type of counterion and solvent. An anionic mechanism is proposed for those systems where there is good reason to assume that the metal is strongly electropositive relative to the carbon (or other) atom at the tip of the growing chain. Hence, the metal, e.g. lithium, becomes a cation either in the free state or coupled with the growing carbanion. Under the appropriate experimental conditions, spontaneous termination is avoidable in many of those systems when one of the metals of Group I is used as the counterion. The alkali metals sodium and potassium were revealed to be polymerization initiators of isoprene in the disclosures of Matthews and Strange in 1910 and Harries in 1911. The first unambiguous report of the use of lithium in reactions with diolefins appears to be that of Ziegler and coworkers in 1934. Their work consisted of an investigation of the reaction between the alkali metals (lithium, sodium) or alkyllithium species and butadiene, isoprene, 2,3-dimethylbutadiene, or piperylene.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
