title: Regio- and stereospecific living polymerization and copolymerization of (E)-1,3-pentadiene with 1,3-butadiene by half-sandwich scandium catalysts.
abstract: The living isospecific-cis-1,4-polymerization and block-copolymerization of (E)-1,3-pentadiene with 1,3-butadiene have been achieved for the first time by using cationic half-sandwich scandium catalysts.
