living ionic polymerization

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08975
Ionic polymerization in which chain termination and irreversible chain transfer are absent.
Note:
Ionic polymerizations, controlled ionic polymerizations and reversible-deactivation ionic polymerizations should not be described as living if there is a non-zero probability of chain termination or irreversible chain transfer.
