Definitions Relating to Stereochemically
Asymmetric Polymerizations
Asymmetric polymerization has been the interest of many academic and
industrial polymer scientists, but no reference has been made by IUPAC
explicitly to definitions of reactions involving the asymmetric synthesis
of polymers. Hence, this document presents definitions concerned with
asymmetric and related polymerizations, with examples included to clarify
the meaning of the definitions. Asymmetric polymerizations embrace two
main categories, "asymmetric chirogenic polymerizations" and "asymmetric
enantiomer-differentiating polymerizations".
