Abstract:
A method of producing a polymer which comprises using a copper compound represented by the general formula LCuXna or L(Lâ€²)CuXnb wherein L and Lâ€² each represents a N-coordination compounds selected from the group consisting of bisoxazoline, substituted bisoxazoline, an amidine compound and a diimine represented by the general formula R3N&boxH;CR4CR5&boxH;NR6 wherein R3, R4, R5 and R6 each represents independently an alkyl, allyl, an aryl, a hydrogen atom, or a halogen atom; or at least one group of R3 and R4, R4 and R5 and R6 is combined and represents a cyclic group with the next carbon and/or nitrogen atom, or a Oâ€” and Nâ€” coordination compound; X represents a halogen atom or an alkoxy, thioxy, allyloxy, amino, secondary amino, tertiary amino, cyano, nitro, alkyl or allyl group; na represents an integer of 1 to 2; and nb represents an integer of 0 to 2 as a catalyst and/or polymerization initiator in polymerizing a vinyl monomer whose polarity value e, when expressed in terms of absolute value, is not more than 1.5.
