Abstract

A process and catalyst system is disclosed herein for the preparation of (co)polymers having a 1,2-microstructure of between about 20 and about 65 percent. These (co)polymers are prepared in a hydrocarbon or non-polar solvent from a monomer system which contains at least one 1,3-diene monomer. The catalyst system which is employed in the production of the (co)polymer is a combination of an anionic initiator based on lithium and a phosphine oxide modifier which is substituted with three saturated heterocyclic rings, each hetero ring containing one nitrogen atom and either four, five or six carbon atoms.
