From this data, it is clear that the choice of carborane isomer has an impact on the degree of polymerization, as the number average polymer weight ( M n ) of the p CbT 2 -IDT polymer was approximately twice as large as that of m CbT 2 -IDT, which in turn was approximately twice that of o CbT 2 -IDT. Although the accuracy of the estimated weights may be affected by the different polymeric shapes, there is a clear trend, which may be explained in terms of steric hindrance.
