96. A reviewer suggested inefficient catalyst activation as a likely cause. However, the same effect was found in batch reactions with our catalyst system at longer reaction times (5 min, 20 °C), that is, under conditions where any time delay due to catalyst initiation is negligible as compared to the polymerization time.
