Living anionic polymerization of phospaalkenes : controlled homopolymers and block copolymers with phosphorus atoms in the polymer main chain

In this thesis, the living anionic polymerization of the phosphaalkene MesPCPh₂ is reported. The polymer backbone consists of alternating phosphorus and carbon atoms. Several experiments have been conducted to illustrate the living nature of P=C bond polymerization including: controlling the polymer...
