Abstract

Abstract : Organometallic aluminum(III) compounds act as highly active, single‐site polymerization catalysts for a broad variety of Michael‐type monomers. Kinetic and theoretical investigations as well as end group analysis allow the postulation of a single‐component, main group element group transfer polymerization. The almost quantitative initiator efficiencies and the living character of the polymerizations enable block copolymerizations. More information can be found in the Full Paper by B. Rieger et al. onpage 14950 .
