    Previous kinetic studies concluded on the aggregation of the anionic chain ends of living tert-butyl methacrylate oligomers [PtBMA-, Li+] in THF at low temperature. This aggregation has been confirmed by viscosimetry, light scattering and gradient field NMR techniques in a range of temperature from 253 K to 298 K. These techniques have been systematically used for the analysis of both the living oligomers and the same chains recovered after hydrolysis of the anionic end groups. The structure of the growing anionic species was analyzed by means of 13C and 7Li NMR spectroscopy. 13C NMR required the selective labeling of the last monomer units by 13C atoms
