Abstract
The complex formed between a tri-or pentavalent antimony halide and an organic phosphonate ester has been found to be an effective catalyst for cationic polymerization reactions.
Claims3
A catalytic composition of matter for cationic polymerization reactions comprising the 1:1 reaction product complex of
- (a) an inorganic antimony halide compound selected from the class SbCl.sub.3, SbCl.sub.5 and SbF.sub.5, and
- (b) an organic phosphonate ester represented by the formula ##STR14## wherein R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are independently selected from (1) phenyl, and (2) alkenyl, halogenated alkyl or alkyl of one to 18 carbon atoms, said reaction product complex selected from the class of compounds having the formulas ##STR15## wherein R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are as defined above.
