Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The complexes AcBr·AlBr3 and AcBr·2AlBr3 initiate cationic polymerization of isobutylene in hydrocarbon medium at −78°C and the complex AcBr·2AlBr3 is more active.

  2. 2.

    Initiation of polymerization under the effect of the AcBr·2AlBr3 complex in hexane at −78°C takes place exclusively with Ac+ and the initiating capacity of the AcBr·AlBr3 complex is due to generation of a proton in the reaction of this complex with the monomer.

  3. 3.

    Under the effect of AcBr·AlBr3 and AcBr·2AlBr3 complexes, chain breaking takes place with the formation of the same C-Br and C=C terminal groups with similar ratios equal to ∼2∶1.
