0.5 mol% of the amidinato disilyne [LSi:]2 (1, L = PhC(NtBu)2) and 1 mol% of B(C6F5)3 cooperatively polymerized methyl methacrylate (MMA) to form poly(MMA) with the H and CH2C(=CH2)COMe end groups (P1, Mn = 3.1 ×103 gmol-1; repeating unit, n = 31; polydispersity index, Đ: 1.55). The catalytic mechan...
