The BCI3 catalysed synthesis of novel block co-polymers of PVC with isobutylene is thought to involve microcations formed by extraction of a chloride ion activated by the chemical introduction of some unsaturation (44) (equation 17).

Samarium enolates 60 can be easily prepared by reduction of ct-bromocarboxylic acid esters with SmT. These enolates mediated well-defined synthesis of star-shaped block co-polymers 61 (Scheme 21 ).32 32l Sml3 also mediated the formation of samarium enolates. Phenacyl thiocyanate 6233 and cr-haloketone 6434 are converted to samarium(lll) enolate intermediates 63 and 65, respectively, which undergo addition to benzaldehyde derivatives affording the corresponding oy i-unsaturatcd ketones as shown in Schemes 22 and 23. 

This field is still active today numerous recent patents [46, 63-89] and several reports [90-92] have detailed the efficiency of such types of systems for the hydrogenation of unsaturated polymers resulting from the polymerization of dienes (butadiene, isoprene, 1,3-cyclohexadiene) or the co-polymerization of dienes and styrenes (block co-polymers of butadiene and styrene SB, SBS, SBSB polymers). 

For the hydrogenation ofpolystyrene-fo-polybutadiene-fo-polystyrene (SBS) block co-polymer with Ru-TPPTS complex as catalyst, Jang et al. [92] applied a poly-ether-modified ammonium salt ionic liquid/organic biphasic system (Fig. 41.3). 

Another interesting chiral chain end effect is exhibited by the helical polymer block co-polymer, poly(l,l-dimethyl-2,2-di-/z-hexylsilylene)- -poly(triphenylmethyl methacrylate), reported by Sanji and Sakurai (see Scheme 7) and prepared by the anionic polymerization of a masked disilene.333 The helical poly(triphenylmethyl methacrylate) block (PTrMA) is reported to induce a PSS of the same sign in the poly(di- -propylsilylene) block in THF below — 20 °C, and also in the solid state, by helicity transfer, as evidenced by the positive Cotton effect at 340 nm, coincident with a fairly narrow polysilane backbone UV absorption characteristic of an all-transoid-conformation. This phenomenon was termed helical programming. Above 20°C, the polysilane block loses its optical activity and the UV absorption shifts to 310 nm in a reversible, temperature-dependent effect, due to the disordering of the chain, as shown in Figure 45.

H NMR spectra were recorded in CDCI3 or CD2CI2 (PhOx containing polymers) and GPC analyses were performed using DMF (with 5 mM NH4PF6) as eluent. Mn,GPC was calculated utilizing poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) standards...

The first commercially developed PFC emulsion, Fluosol, consisted of a mixture of F-decalin and F-tiipropylamine emulsified with Pluronic F-68 [a poly(oxyethy-lene) poly(oxypropylene) block co-polymer] as the main surfactant. It gained... 

PO. In addition, the produced polymer does not include a phenolate terminal group which should be derived from 2a. These facts indicate that 2a does not initiate but accelerates the polymerization through coordination to PO. The living nature of the PO polymerization by using lb/2a system is advantageous for the production of a block co-polymer the polymerization of PO followed by addition of 1,2-butene oxide to the polymerization mixture gives diblock co-polymer with a narrow MWD (Scheme 4).
