STUDIES IN IVTH GROUP ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY. VI. PREPARATION AND POLYMERIZATION OF IVTH GROUP ORGANOMETALLIC DERIVATIVES OF STYRENE AND METHYLSTYRENE.

Abstract

The preparation of a series of IVth group organometallic vinyl monomers derived from styrene and a-methylstyrene, respectively, is described. Thermal or radical-initiated polymerization of the styrene derivatives yielded transparent, solid organometal-substituted polystyrenes. The monomers of the general structure p-(CH3)3M(IV)-C6H4-CH-CH2 display appreciably different rates of radical-initiated polymerization, i.e. in the order Pb > Si > C > Ge > Sn. (Author)
