55. We are aware of two other monomers for which samarocene cyclopolymerization has been investigated. Sogah and Zeng found 2,2'-bis((methacryloyloxy)methyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl to undergo polymerization with 2, although incomplete cyclization was achieved. A second dimethacrylate, (-)-trans-2,3-bis-((methacryloyloxy)diphenylmethyl)-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.4]-nonane, was not polymerized. In this case inactivity can be ascribed to the steric hindrance of the ester, which is even greater than that of the trityl group. Zheng, S., Cornell University, personal communication, 1996.

75. Since this technique provides separate molecular weight information for each fraction of polymer as it elutes, while GPC alone gives the average molecular weight for an entire sample, GPC / LS can more easily detect small amounts of lower molecular weight contaminants at the tail end of the molecular weight distribution.

85. For polymers with a high percentage of cleavable groups, McGrath has noted that a mixed solvent system (toluene / methanol) is required to maintain solubility. When II was reacted under these conditions, a portion of the deprotected PtBA units were converted into poly(methyl acrylate). Thus, we employed straight toluene as a solvent. A small amount of polymer precipitation was seen, but conversion to PAA was still quantitative. See: (a) Long, T. E.; Allen, R. D.; McGrath, J. E. In Chemical Reactions on Polymers; Benham, J.
