Chloride Effects in Lanthanide Carboxylate Based Isoprene Polymerization

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The use of chloride in selectively forming high cis-1,4-polyisoprene in a comparison of equivalent binary and ternary lanthanide systems, was investigated. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was used for the analysis of these polymers and showed that these polymers had monomodal molecular weight distribution. The C NMR spectroscopy showed that the polymers which were generated in the binary system were a mixture of cis- and trans-1,4- polyisoprene. The results confirm the existence of significant chloride effect in a controlled system.
