Coordination polymerization in which chain termination and irreversible chain transfer are absent.
Notes:
- Coordination polymerizations, controlled coordination polymerizations and reversible-deactivation coordination polymerizations should not be described as living if there is a non-zero probability of chain termination or irreversible chain transfer.
- The use of the adjective living to denote systems with an extended catalyst lifetime is deprecated.
