Abstract

Abstract In studying the mechanism of the oxidation coupling polymerization of 2, 6- dimethylphenol, the effect of the copper counter-ion was also investigated. This polymerization is catalyzed by copper (II)-amine complexes. In these experiments, tmed*** is used as amine ligand. The counter-ions were divided into strongly coordinating (viz. Cl− and Br−), weakly coordinating (viz. NO 3−) and non-coordinating counter-ions (viz. ClO 4−, CF ...
