Abstract
The photoinitiated cationic polymerization of 1-cyclopropyl-1-phenyl-ethylene, 1 -cyclopropyl-1-(p-methoxyphenyl)ethylene and 1-cyclopropyl-1-(p-fluorophenyl)ethylene at ambient temperatures in bulk and in solution was investigated using (η 5 -2,4-cyclopentadiene-1-yl)[l,2,3,4,5, 6-η] (1-(methylethyl) benzene)iron(I) hexafluorophosphate (Irgacure 261,I-1) and ditolyliodonium hexafluorophosphate (I-2). In contrast to our results in the polymerization of 2-cyclopropyl-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolanes, partial ring-opening of the cyclopropane ring could be detected. A volume shrinkage of about 11% was found.
