The mechanistic pathway" " can be divided into three steps 1. formation of the activating agent from triphenylphosphine and diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) or diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) 2. activation of the substrate alcohol 1 3. a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (Sn2) at the activated carbon center. 

In addition, a chlorine ion most probably replaces the fluoride ion located on the rotation diad axis of the heptacoordinated complex with C2v symmetry otherwise splitting of the band would be observed. Replacement of the ligand in any other position would reduce the symmetry from C2v to Cj.

Three kinds of polymer segments are formed in the polymerization of dienes 1-4 cis-, 1-4 trans-, and 1-2 segments (or 3-4 in polymerization of isoprene or other monosubstituted dienes). The latter may form isotactic or syndiotactic diads when the proportion of the 1-2 form is sufficiently high, e.g. a syndiotactic, highly 1-2 polybutadiene was described recently by Ashitaka et al. 123), although the so far examined 1-2 polybutadienes produced by homogeneous anionic polymerization were found to be atactic (unpubl. results of Bywater, Worsfold).

Mayo-Lewis Binary Copolymeriration Model. In this exeimple we consider the Mayo-Lewis model for describing binary copolymerization. The procedure for estimating the kinetic parameters expressed as reactivity ratios from composition data is discussed in detail in our earlier paper (1 ). Here diad fractions, which are the relative numbers of MjMj, MiMj, M Mj and MjMj sequences as measured by NMR are used. NMR, while extremely useful, cannot distinguish between MiM and M Mi sequences and... 

Simulated Data. The use of a simulated dataset is a convenient way of illustrating the proposed method. In fact the diad...

The diad fractions for the low conversion experiments only are reproduced in Table II. The high conversion data cannot be used since the Mayo-Lewis model does not apply. Again diad fractions have been standardized such that only two independent measurements are available. When the error structure is unknown, as in this case, Duever and Reilly (in preparation) show how the parameter distribution can be evaluated. Several attempts were made to use this solution. However with only five data points there is insufficient information present to allow this approach to be used.

This implies that the diad fraction measurements n and n, are made independently with constant standard deviation 0.05. Figure 3 shows the resulting joint 95% posterior probability region with 95% shimmer bands and point estimates. A second estimate of used here is... 

Applications of the method to the estimation of reactivity ratios from diad sequence data obtained by NMR indicates that sequence distribution is more informative than composition data. The analysis of the data reported by Yamashita et al. shows that the joint 95% probability region is dependent upon the error structure. Hence this information should be reported and integrated into the analysis of the data. Furthermore reporting only point estimates is generally insufficient and joint probability regions are required. 

It is striking that, despite its small size, the tetrad effect was discovered before the diad effect. This is because the diad effect occurs in d-electron systems and is therefore masked by the orbital stabilization energies produced by the stronger ligand field.
