Abstract
The thermal and photoinduced polymerization of 1,3-bis(p-vinylphenyl)propane was carried outby using tetracyanoethylene as a strong electron acceptor in several solvents. This cyclopolymerization produced polymer that contained [3.3]paracyclophane units in the main chain. The solvent and additive effect of polymerization inhibitors as well as the polymer structure suggest clearly that both polymerization proceeded in a cationic mechanism.
