Polymerization mechanism of n-vinylcarbazole with chirally organic salt as catalyst

摘要

The polymerization mechanism is described by the conductance change with the time during the polymerization. The mechanism can by explained by the equi- librium feature (i.e. main ion-pairs) between the free ions and the ion-pairs dissociated by the organic salt(-) Sp~+(+) CSA~- (An asterisk represents the chirality) and the scheme of the polymerization process is described mainly by the charge transfer complexes having chiral induction power.
