Abstract
Polyinsertions are defined as polymerizations in which the monomer is added between the growing chain and the initiator moiety (see Section 16.5.1). A coordination of the monomer with the initiator frequently precedes the true insertion step, and so this type of polymerization is also termed a coordination polymerization. However, there are cases in which the monomer is coordinated with the initiator, but no real polyinsertion reaction occurs. Ethylene, for example, forms a coordination compound with silver nitrate, but the subsequent polymerization is a free radical polymerization. For this reason, the name “polyinsertion” appears to be more appropriate than “coordinative polymerization” because it emphasizes the propagation step, which is decisive in polymerizations, and not on the complex formation that precedes this step.
