The catalyst effectively promoted the regio-controlled polymerization even at the concentration of 0.1 mol % to the monomer, and the resulting polymer showed a melting temperature at 280 °C.}, pages = {1234--1235}, title = {Regio-controlled Oxidative Polymerization of 2,5-Dimethylphenol by Using CuCl–TMEDA Complex}, volume = {36}, year = {2007} }
