The effect of electrons in the unsaturation in the ultimate and penultimate monomer groups on the ionicity of the catalysts has been shown by Wilke (133). His work shows that, when the catalyst contains triphenylphosphine, the added increasing nucleophilic effect of the double bonds converts the catalyst to an ethylene incorporating specie. After incorporation of the ethylene, cyclization and reduction of the metal occurs to produce cyclodecadiene and cydohexene. This effect is analogous to that shown earlier (88) of a diene system complexing with the catalyst modifying the ionicity to favor ethylene incorporation. 

Another important family of uncross-linked polymers are copolymers. Copolymers are polymeric materials with two or more monomer types in the same chain. A copolymer that is composed of two monomer types is referred to as a bipolymer (i.e., PS-HI), and one that is formed by three different monomer groups is called a terpolymer (i.e., ABS). Depending on how the different monomers are arranged in the polymer chain, one distinguishes between random, alternating, block, or graft copolymers, discussed later in this chapter.

There are several experimental methods to measure sY. Macromolecules can be represented as N segments (monomers, groups) of mass m and distance from the center of gravity. The gyration radius is...

Macosko and Miller (1976) and Scranton and Peppas (1990) also developed a recursive statistical theory of network formation whereby polymer structures evolve through the probability of bond formation between monomer units this theory includes substitution effects of adjacent monomer groups. These statistical models have been used successfully in step-growth polymerizations of amine-cured epoxies (Dusek, 1986a) and urethanes (Dusek et al, 1990). This method enables calculation of the molar mass and mechanical properties, but appears to predict heterogeneous and chain-growth polymerization poorly.

Let us briefly summarize the state of the art in the polymerization of other monomer groups in the presence of polymer-boxmd metal complexes. Considerable progress has been achieved in polymerization of dienes, namely, butadiene and isoprene, catalyzed by macromolecnlar complexes based on rare earth halides [114], Co-oligomerization of 1,3-butadiene and CO2 with immobilized palladium complexes (phosphynated PS as macromolecnlar ligand) [115] and polymerization of acetylene monomers with immobilized complexes of Mo(V), W(VI), and Pd(II) have been developed though they have not been investigated intensively.
