15. We define a stereospecific polymerization as one that can provide a particular polymer microstructure with >95% selectivity at the pentad level of analysis.
16. The stereospecific living polymerization of a functionalized α-olefin, i.e., methyl methacrylate, has been achieved using lanthanide-based catalysts that effect polymerization through an enolate mechanism that is distinctly different than the Ziegler-Natta process, see: (a) Yasuda, H.; Yamamoto, H.; Yokota, K.; Miyake, S.; Nakamura, A.
