Summary

Perdeuterated styrene was polymerized by TiCl4 and EtAlCl2 in toluene at −78°C and the resultant polymer was examined for the terminal group containg protons by using 1h NMR spectroscopy. The polymer prepared by TiCl4 was found to contain 0.64 of toluene fragments per a polymer molecule and a similar amount of CHD2-group. The ratios of kM/kP and kS/kP were estimated to be 0.0228 and 0.0035, respectively. Similar results were obtained for the polymerization initiated with EtAlCl2
