Patent ID: 7138484

Claim:
A method for producing a polymerized hydrocarbon, comprising: a dehalogenation of a halogenated hydrocarbon with a magnesium-diene complex wherein the halogenated hydrocarbon is represented by General Formula (1) or (3), and the polymerized hydrocarbon is represented by General Formula (2) or (4): 2X-R+Mg(Diene)→ (1) R—R+MgX 2 +Diene (2) nX′—R-X″+nMg(Diene)→ (3) R n +nMgX′X″+n Diene (4) (wherein each R represents a hydrocarbon group that may contain a heteroatom; X, X′, and X″ each represent a halogen atom; and n represents an integer of 2 or more).
