Polymerization of acrylonitrile catalyzed by methoxo‐β‐diketone nickel chelates

The polymerization of acrylonitrile initiated by methoxo‐β‐diketone nickel chelates of the [Ni(L)(CH 3 O)(CH 3 OH)] n type and pyridine was studied. Chelating agents L employed included acetylacetone, ethylacetoacetate, and salicylaldehyde. These systems could initiate the polymerization of acryloni...

Description
Summary:The polymerization of acrylonitrile initiated by methoxo‐β‐diketone nickel chelates of the [Ni(L)(CH 3 O)(CH 3 OH)] n type and pyridine was studied. Chelating agents L employed included acetylacetone, ethylacetoacetate, and salicylaldehyde. These systems could initiate the polymerization of acrylonitrile at −40°C. The polymerization is thought to occur by an anionic coordination mechanism.
