What is "telomerization"

n. (context chemistry English) Any reaction that increases the length of a telomer (oligomer) stepwise

Telomerization is a radical polymerization reaction where a chain transfer limits the size of the oligomer molecule product—the telomer. Telomerization requires a telogen to react with at least one unsaturated taxogen molecule. Fluorotelomers are an example.

The telomerization is the linear dimerization of 1,3-dienes with simultaneous addition of a nucleophile in a catalytic reaction.
