Notes:
Anionic polymerization of p-triphenylgermylstyrene (1a) and p-tributylgermylstyrene (1b) were investigated under high vacuum conditions (≈10-6 mbar). Both 1a and 1b were readily polymerized with sodium naphthalide, potassium naphthalide, or α-methylstyrylsodium oligomers to form “living polymers”. The addition of α-methylstyrene to these living systems gave the triblock copolymer, poly(α-methylstyrene-b-p-triphenylgermylstyrene-b-α-methylstyrene). Both monomers were also polymerized radically with AIBN as initiator. Some physical properties of the resulting polymers were examined.
