[a] BnOH as co‐initiator. [b] Conversions of the individual monomers determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy of the crude polymer after 24 h of polymerization at 180 °C. [c] Incorporated ratio of the monomers determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy of the precipitated polymer. [d] Calculated by the sum for all monomers of molar mass x conversion x monomer ratio of each monomer, respectively. [e] Determined by GPC in THF. [f] Calculated in accordance with ref. [21c]. [g] Randomness factor of LL calculated in accordance with ref. [33].
