Selective anionic polymerization of 2,5-divinylthiophene was conducted at one of its two vinyl groups in a living manner using oligo(α-methylstyryllithium) (αMSLi) and a 10-fold excess oftBuOK as a binary initiator system in tetrahydrofuran at −78 °C. 2-Isopropenyl-5-vinylthiophene (iPrVT), an asymmetric divinyl monomer, also underwent selective anionic polymerization under the initiation of αMSLi/tBuOK to yield a polymer with a predictable molecular weight (Mn< 9.0 kg/mol)) and a narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn< 1.15). In each case, the binary initiator system of αMSLi/tBuOK effectively prevented the side reactions of the propagating anion with the residual vinyl or isopropenyl groups. A weak1H NMR signal (∼5%) of the residual vinyl groups was observed for the resulting poly(iPrVT) along with dominant signals of the isopropenyl group, suggesting that the isopropenyl group of iPrVT also participated in the polymerization but to a significantly lesser extent. The obtained polymers exhibited glass-transition temperatures (∼75 °C) as well as typical exothermic peaks (>120 °C) owing to thermal cross-linking, confirming the reactivity of the residual vinyl groups in the repeating unit of the polymer.
