Lanthanides and actinides: Annual survey of their organometallic chemistry covering the year 2013

“…at 25 • C. The Y catalyst converted 250 equiv. of isoprene into polyisoprene with a narrow molecular weight distribution (M w /M n = 1.20) and a 3,4-rich microstructure (3,4-selectivity: 78%, rr = 50%) in 12 h[126]. By using cationic half-sandwich scandium catalysts such as (…”
