Two series of PMMA samples have been synthesized by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization(ATRP) with and without catalytic promoter(aluminum isopropoxide, ( i PrO) 3Al in the temperature range of 0~100 ℃. Their tacticity has been determined by 13 C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance(NMR). The results showed that the polymers by ATRP were all predominantly syndiotactic, and the tendency to form syndiotactic sequences decreased with the polymerization temperature increase. The tacticity of PMMA was influenced by catalytic promoter, [( i PrO) 3Al], because it coordinates with the ester carbonyl group of polymer chain end. The activation parameters governing the tacticity of ATRP were calculated. The results indicate that the same type of active species is present in ATRP and conventional radical system.
