The 5, 10, 15, 20-tetraphenylporphine-diethylaluminum chloridesystem has been found to polymerize ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and 1, 2-butene oxide to produce “living” polymers having narrow molecular weight distributions. Binary and ternary block copolymers could be synthesized from these epoxides with very high blocking efficiency (almost 100%). The length of the blocked chain could be controlled by changing the amounts of the monomers reacted. The block copolymers are also characterized by a narrow molecular weight distribution.“Living” polymerization is of great importance in the preparation of polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions and blockcopolymers with well-defined block lengths. However, examples have been limited mainlyto polymerization of nonpolar vinyl monomers. As for ringopening polymerization of epoxides, only ethylene oxide was reported to form living polymer with some alkaline catalysts.
