Abstract The inclusion polymerization of diene monomers with different sizes and shapes in apocholic acid canals was studied under γ-ray irradiation. It was found that the sizes and shapes of monomers profoundly influenced the microstructures of the corresponding polymers obtaied. Thus, polybutadiene contained a significant amount of 1,2-units like usual radical polymerization in solution. Polyisoprene consisted of a mixture of head-to-tail and head-to-head (tail-to-tail) addition. The introduction of two methyl groups into butadiene led to the synthesis of polymers with almost exclusively head-to-tail, 1,4-trans structure.
