Synthesis of High Molar Mass Poly(phenylene methylene) Catalyzed by Tungsten(II) Compounds

Poly(phenylene methylene)s (PPMs) with high molar masses were isolated by polymerization of benzyl chloride catalyzed with tungsten(II) compounds and subsequent fractionation. Four different tungsten(II) catalysts were successfully exploited for the polymerization, for which a strict temperature pro...
