Abstract: The title complex was used as catalyst for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate.The results indicated that the catalytic activity markedly depends on the amount of thecatalyst,temperature of polymerization,the monomer concentration and nature of themonomer.The tacticity of PMMA is syndiotactic in majority.

Key words: samarium complex, methyl methacrylate, polymerization
