“…The increase in the isotacticity of the polymer is ascribed to the effective complexation of Y(OTf) 3 with the last two pendant amide groups of the propagating radical and the incoming monomer unit which in turn favors the meso-type addition of the Lewis acid-complexed NIPAM monomer. Similar observations have been reported for the polymerization of acrylamides, 15,16,18,19,22 methacrylamides, [16][17][18][19][20][21] and methacrylates 24 in the presence of bulky lanthanide triflate Lewis acids. The increase in the EBIB concentration from 10 mM to 30 mM (entries 3, 5 and 6) while keeping other conditions the same increases the polymer yield, decreases the molecular weight of the polymer, and increases the polydispersities.…”

“…[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] The Lewis acids further affected the stereochemistry of the polymers. Especially, for the acrylamides, highly isotactic polymers were obtained with rare-earth metal triflates.…”

“…Stereospecific living radical polymerizations of various monomers based on a combination of living and stereospecific radical polymerizations merizations was the RAFT polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide in the presence of lanthanide triflate, such as Y(OTf) 3 and Yb(OTf) 3 . 34 The obtained poly(NIPAM) had controlled molecular weights and a high isotacticity; the number-average molecular weights (M n ) increased in direct proportion to monomer conversion and agreed well with the calculated values, assuming that one molecule of the RAFT agent generated one polymer chain, while maintaining the high meso contents (m ¼ 80-90%) throughout the polymerizations. This success is most probably due to the robust nature of the RAFT polymerization that can induce a fast interconversion without suffering any decomposition of the thioester group even in the presence of Y(OTf) 3 as well as the effective interaction of the Lewis acid with the polymer terminal and/or the incoming monomer for the isospecific chain growth even in the presence of the RAFT agent.…”

“…RAFT polymerization can be conducted in the presence of Lewis acids.There are reports of attempted tacticity control of homopolymers [91,[168][169][170] (to enable the synthesis of stereoblock copolymers [171] ) and control of the alternating tendency for copolymerizations [172,173] through the use of Lewis acids as additives. For MMA polymerization, the addition of the Lewis acid scandium triflate, Sc(OTf) 3 , increases the fraction of isotactic triads and enhances the rate of polymerization in conventional radical [174] and RAFT processes.…”
