This work reports the chemoselective polymerization of polar divinyl monomers, including allyl methacrylate (AMA), vinyl methacrylate (VMA), and 4-vinylbenzyl methacrylate (VBMA), by using simple Lewis pairs comprised of homoleptic rare-earth (RE) aryloxide complexes RE(OAr)₃ (RE = Sc (<b>1</b>), Y (<b>2</b>), Sm (<b>3</b>), La (<b>4</b>), Ar = 2,6-<i>t</i>Bu₂C₆H₃) and phosphines PR₃ (R = Ph, Cy, Et, Me). Catalytic activities of polymerizations relied heavily upon the cooperation of Lewis acid a ...[more]
