Abstract

Ge and Sn (non-transition-metal) catalyzed living radical polymerizations were developed. Low-polydispersity (M_w/M_n ∼ 1.1-1.2) polystyrenes with predicted molecular weights were obtained with a fairly high conversion in a fairly short time. The significant rate retardation observed for the GeI₄ system with relatively large concentrations of GeI ₄ was kinetically proved to be mainly due to the cross-termination between P* with GeI₃*. Attractive features of the Ge and Sn catalysts include their high reactivity hence small amounts being required under a mild condition (at 60-80 °C) and high solubility in organic media without ligands. Ge catalysts may also be attractive for their low toxicity.
