The abundant incorporation ofp-divinylbenzene (DVB) in isotactic poly(styrene) units has been achieved by the stereospecific copolymerization employing an aryl-substituted [OSSO]-type zirconium(IV) precatalyst2bin the presence of dried modified-methylaluminoxane (dMMAO) as an activator. The resulting poly(iso-styrene‐co‐DVB)s possessed very high molecular weights (Mw= 93,000−131,000 g mol−1) and unimodal polydispersity indices (PDI = 1.8−2.5). The corresponding activities were recorded to reach up to 738 g mmol(2b)–1h–1. The DVB contents (7–20 mol %) in the copolymer could be varied depending upon the feed concentration. These copolymers exhibited an amorphous phase structure with glass transition temperatures (Tgvalues) of 84.8–110.9 °C.
