Abstract

In this work, a detailed study of the initiation stage for the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene and isoprene using the neodymium Ziegler-Natta catalyst was carried out. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the formation of anti- and syn-π-allyl structures in the terminal link of the growing polymer chain is equally probable in the case of 1,3-butadiene polymerization. In the case of asymmetric isoprene, the formation of an anti-π-allyl structure in which the methyl group of the monomer is closer to the active center is most probable.
