21. Use of a simple Bernoullian statistical model is a first approximation, owing to the presence of regioirregularly arranged monomer units. A more complete statistical analysis taking into account both stereospecificity and regiospecificity was developed for V-promoted polymerization: Ammendola, P.; Shijing, X.; Grassi, A.; Zambelli, A.
