Abstract

The interaction of the [Ni(PPh3)3]BF4 complex with styrene and the products of styrene conversion in the polymerization reaction were studied by EPR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The structure of the σ-carbocationic complex of Ni(I) formed by the interaction of styrene with the [Ni(PPh3)3]BF4 cationic phosphine complex of Ni(I) was characterized in detail. It was found that the reaction of styrene polymerization occurred with the participation of the coordination center of the σ-carbocationic complex (coordination catalysis), whereas the reaction of telomerization occurred with the participation of the cationic center of this complex (ionic catalysis). The resulting polymer contained active terminal double bonds; it is a promising macromonomer for the synthesis of grafted copolymers. The discovered capacity of alcohols to undergo nucleophilic addition to a growing polymer chain offers strong possibilities for preparing functional polymers and block copolymers.
