Patent ID: 8648140

Claim:
A telomer distribution comprised of one or more of: (a) a distribution of molecules of the formula Ph-CH 2 [—CH 2 CH(Ph)] n CH 2 CH 2 -Ph wherein each Ph is a phenyl group, for each molecule in the distribution, “n” is a whole number in the range of 0 to 6, and wherein, (i) at least about 46 GPC area % of the molecules have an “n” value equaling 0, (ii) about 1 to about 26 GPC area % of the molecules have an “n” value equaling 1, and (iii) 0 to about 14 GPC area % of the molecules have an “n” value equaling 2; (b) a distribution of molecules of the formula Ph-CH 2 [—CH 2 CH(Ph)] n -CH 2 CH 2 -Ph; wherein each Ph is a phenyl group, wherein for each molecule in the distribution, “n” is a whole number in the range of 0 to 6, and wherein the distribution is characterized by a majority of the molecules in the distribution having an “n” value of 0 and a minority, not exceeding 49 GPC area %, of the molecules in the distribution having an “n” value of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 wherein the GPC area % for “n” equals 1>“n” equals 2>“n” equals 3>“n” equals 4>“n” equals 5>“n” equals 6; (c) a non-polymeric and non-oligomeric distribution of molecules of the formula Ph-CH 2 [—CH 2 CH(Ph)] n -CH 2 CH 2 -Ph, wherein each Ph is a phenyl group, and, for each molecule in the distribution, “n” is a whole number in the range of 0 to 6 and wherein the distribution includes molecules having “n” values from 1 to 6.
