Summary Various diphenylzinc-cocatalyst systems were used as initiators of epichlorohydrin polymerization in benzene solution. Water, acetone, butanone, acetophenone and cyclopentanone were employed as cocatalyst but in the most of the cases diphenylzinc alone produced the better conversion to polymer. GPC results suggest the presence of more than one active species for the polymerization initiated by those systems. For diphenylzinc alone as initiator the reaction at 120°C is first order with respect to monomer with kp=1.21x10 -5L mol-1sec-1.
