A novel vinylbiphenyl monomer, 2-methoxy-5-phenylstyrene (MOPS), was designed and efficiently synthesized to investigate the stereospecific polymerization of bulky and polar styrenic derivative. Regardless of its large side group and electron-donating o-methoxy substituent, this compound showed a high polymerizability and was readily converted to the corresponding polymers with moderate to high molecular mass through radical, anionic, and coordination polymerizations.
