AB  - Poly(2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline) (PIPOx) and poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP) have 
      been efficiently synthesized using bis(cyclopentadienyl)methylytterbium (Cp2YbMe) 
      as catalyst. The polymerizations of 2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline (IPOx) and 
      2-vinylpyridine (2VP) follow a living group-transfer polymerization (GTP) 
      mechanism, allowing a precise molecular-weight control of both polymers with very 
      narrow molecular-weight distribution. The GTP of IPOx and 2VP occurs via N 
      coordination at the rare earth metal center, which has rarely been reported 
      previously. The relative coordination strength of different monomers at the 
      ytterbium center is determined by copolymerization investigations to be in the 
      order of DEVP > MMA > IPOx > 2VP. In combination with living cationic 
      ring-opening polymerization, PIPOx is converted to molecular brushes with defined 
      backbone and poly(2-oxazoline) side chains using the grafting-from method.
