Abstract Evidence for the activated monomer (AM) mechanism operating in the polymerization of propylene oxide (PO) initiated with HBF 4 is presented. The contribution of AM route of propagation is the highest and formation of cyclic oligomers mostly suppressed when monomer concentration is low enough. This was achieved by slowly adding PO to the reaction mixture, as previously proposed on the basis of kinetic considerations.
