A novel molybdenum oxytetrachloride (MoOCl 4 )‐based ternary catalyst, molybdenum oxytetrachloride/diethylzinc/ethanol (MoOCl 4 Et 2 ZnEtOH), induces the living polymerization of o ‐(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetylene. A catalyst composition of MoOCl 4 :Et 2 Zn: EtOH (mole ratio = 1:1:3) and anisole as polymerization solvent are favorable. The ratio of weight‐ to number‐average molecular weights M w / M n of the polymer was as small as 1,03, and the initiator efficiency was 8%. Living polymerization was verified by multistage polymerization. The polymerization proceeded in a living fashion in the temperature range from 0 to 30°C. The catalyst yielded polymers with small M w / M n values also from other phenylacetylenes with bulky ortho substituents and 1‐chloro‐1‐octyne.
