## Abstract **Summary:** The reactivity of poly(1,3‐cyclohexadienyl)lithium (PCHDLi), as a species for the propagation of the anionic polymerization of 1,3‐cyclohexadiene (1,3‐CHD), was examined using a post‐polymerization reaction of PCHDLi and 9‐bromofluorene (9‐BFL). The degree of nucleophilicit
## Abstract Anionic polymerizations of 1‐adamantyl methacrylate (**1**) and 3‐methacryloyloxy‐1,1′‐biadamantane (**2**) were carried out in THF at −50 to −78 °C for 24 h. The initiator employed was either [1,1‐bis(4′‐trimethylsilylphenyl)‐3‐methylpentyl]lithium (**3**)/lithium chloride, or diphenyl
Ring opening of 1,2,3,4-tetramethyl-1,2,3,4-tetraphenylcyclotetrasilane in the presence of various transition metal catalysts has been studied. Pd and Pt compounds are most active. Compounds with bulky ligands [e.g., Pd(PPh,),] lead to the formation of "dimeric" cyclooctasilanes. Compounds with less
