Abstract
Ever since Petersen reported the complexing ability of the crown ether with alkali, alkaline earth and other cations, crown ether became a major subject for researchers. This is due to the fact that crown ether possesses the ability to form complexes with a variety of inorganic salts and also the ability to solubilize these salts in aprotic solvents. The complexation between metal cation and crown ether is believed to involve ion-dipole interactions and therefore is similar in nature to ordinary solvation. In addition, crown ether/metal cation complexes can serve as catalysts in reactions involving ionic intermediates. Polymerization of diene with crown ether/metal cation complexes is a typical example of this subject, since this reaction involves ionic intermediates. The detailed information including a brief history, chemical properties of crown ether and its application in the anionic polymerization and copolymerization have been discussed.
