The AIBN initiated radical polymerization of o ‐carborane functionalized styrenes has been developed. The styrene decorated on the cage boron or cage carbon vertex of o ‐carboranes were all compatible with this polymerization. The M w of the desired P[4‐(B3‐ o ‐carborane)‐styrene] and P[C1‐methylene‐ o ‐carborane‐4‐vinylbenzene] could up to 3.5×10 5 and 1.7×10 5 , respectively. This work offers an efficient method for synthesis of o ‐carborane functionalized polystyrenes, which has important reference for synthesis of o ‐carborane containing polymers.
