Decomposed complex precipitated in the bottom of the tube and the solution was decanted to a 20 mL glass vial. Solvents were removed under the hood, and then the vial was dried at 40 ° C under high vacuum for 6 h. Conversions were determined from the initial and final weights of the vial and the IB used during the polymerization.
