Notes:
Kinetics of anionic copolymerization of styrene (S) and 1,1-diphenylethylene (D) were investigated in THF. The rate constant of addition of D to living polystyrene was found to be k1,2 ± = 250 l./mole-sec. for , Na+ ion-pair, and that for the free , Na+ ion is k1,2-∼400,000 l./mole-sec. Both values refer to 25°C. The addition of styrene to —D-, Na+ was found to be reversible: and k2,1 was determined by three different methods to be ∼0.5-0.7 l./mole-sec. Studies performed in a stirred-flow reactor led to k-21 = 13 sec. -1 and K21 ∼ 5 × 10-2 l./mole. An alternating copolymer is obtained in the presence of a large excess of 1,1-diphenylethylene.
