a)
Interpretation:
Show the mechanism of the formation of dicyclopentadiene from cyclopentadiene, draw the representative unit of the
Concept introduction:
In this process, the addition
In this process, an initiator is added to the reaction mixture. This initiator gets added to the carbon-carbon double bond and yields a reactive monomer (intermediate). This reactive intermediate reacts with the monomer and this process keeps on repeating to give rise to the final polymeric product.
The formation of PDCPD is taking place by ROMP (ring opening metathesis polymerization), an olefin metathesis reaction can be stated as the reaction between two molecules (
The catalyst used for olefin metathesis polymerization is Grubb’s catalyst (it contain a carbon-metal double bond and have a genral structure as M=CH-R. The function of Grubb’s catalyst is to react reversibly with an alkene to form a four membered cyclic compound knowa as metallacycle. Here, “M” is Ru i.e. ruthenium.
Metallacycle opens up in the next step to give rise to different alkene and a different catalyst.

- Draw the structure of the polymer formed by chain-growthpolymerization of each monomerarrow_forwardPredict the order of reactivity (and justify your prediction) of the given monomers. Styrene, 2-vinylpyridine, 3-vinylpyridine, and 4-vinyl pyridine in anionic polymerization. Styrene, p-methoxystyrene, p-chlorostyrene, and p-methylstyrene in cationic polymerization. and Sketch the average number molecular weight as a function of monomer conversion for the following processes: condensation polymerization and free radical polymerization. Explain the differences.arrow_forwardRadical polymerization of styrene gives a linear polymer. Radical polymerization of a mixture of styrene and 1,4-divinylbenzene gives a cross-linked network polymer of the type shown in Figure 29.1. Show by drawing structural formulas how incorporation of a few percent of 1,4-divinylbenzene in the polymerization mixture gives a cross-linked polymer.arrow_forward
- What is the first step in the cationic polymerization of alkenes?arrow_forwardDraw the structure of the polymer formed by step-growth polymerization of each monomer or pair of monomers.arrow_forwardThe 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for work on polyacetylenes. Acetylene can be polymerized using a Ziegler–Natta catalyst. The cis or trans stereochemistry of the products can be controlled by careful selection and preparation of the catalyst. The resulting polyacetylene is an electrical semiconductor with a metallic appearance. cis-Polyacetylene has a copper color, and trans-polyacetylene is silver. It is possible to prepare polyacetylene films whose electrical conductivity is anisotropic. That is, the conductivity is higher in some directions than in others. Explain how this unusual behavior is possible.arrow_forward
