Li+-catalyzed radical polymerization of simple terminal alkenes.
Solutions of Li+ salts of highly alkylated derivatives of the monocarbadodecaborate anion in 1,2-dichloroethane catalyze the radical polymerization of simple terminal alkenes, dienes, and alkynes under ambient conditions, initiated by azoisobutyronitrile, di-tert-butyl peroxide, or atmospheric air.
