Abstract
The kinetics and mechanism of the polymerization of isobutylene (IB) initiated by tert-butyl chloride and catalyzed by ethylaluminum dichloride (EADC)•bis(2-chloroethyl) ether (CEE) complex was studied in hexanes at 0 °C. The polymerization is first order in [IB] and in dry hexanes the slopes of the first order plots are independent of the [CEE]/[EADC] ratio in the range 1–1.5. From the slopes the steady state concentration of propagating...
