“…A variety of other initiators have been studied for the stereoselective polymerization of 1,3-dienes [Coates, 2000;Cooper, 1979;Endo and Hatakeyama, 2001;Ikai et al, 1999;Nath et al, 2002;Pasquon et al, 1989;Peluso et al, 1997;Porri and Giarrusso, 1989;Ricci et al, 1996;Senyek, 1987;Tate and Bethea, 1985;Visseaux et al, 2001]. Traditional Ziegler-Natta, metallocene, and other initiators yield remarkable results, surpassing the stereoselectivity by alkyllithium initiators.…”
