Abstract

Low molecular weight &agr;-methylstyrene oligomers are obtained by oligomerizing &agr;-methylstyrene in the presence of a single component initiator complex containing a cation component and a weakly coordinating anion component. The initiator complex is non-corrosive and does not have to be neutralized or removed from the obtained product.
