Summary Attempts have been made to adapt Kropp et al.'s finding(PIENTA, KROPP 1978) that adamantyl iodide in the presence of UV light produces carbocations to cationic polymerizations. Isobutylene polymerization did not occur upon UV irradiation with adamantyl iodide or tert.-butyl iodide alone, however low yields of polyisobutylenes were obtained in the presence of zinc dust and ZnI2 (IΘ complexors) , respectively. The yield of polyisobutylene obtained with t-BuI/BCl3 in the dark increased upon UV irradiation.
