Transfer ticket : A group transfer polymerization (GTP) reaction mechanism operates in the living polymerization of diethyl vinylphosphonate, in which high‐molecular‐weight homo‐ and copolymers are produced using simple rare‐earth‐metal complexes (see scheme). The mechanism is consistent with the well‐known and established mechanism for polar monomers such as acrylates, and opens up a new approach toward phosphorus‐containing polymeric materials.
