^(a)

M_n^obs. measured by NMR spectroscopy.

^(b)

M_n^stoich was defined by the monomer to initiator ratio.

^(c)

Polydispersity indices were determined by SEC in chloroform relative to polystyrene standards.

^(d)

The percent cis-prop-1-enyl isomer incorporation was determined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy.

^(e)

Solution polymerizations were carried out at 20wt% monomer in diglyme.

^(f)

Polymerization time of 144 hours.
