TL;DR: The hexafunctional initiator C6[(CH2)2p-C6H4CH(Cl)Me]6 is synthesized by Fe(η-C5H5)+ induced hexabenzylation of C6Me6 followed by regiospecific acetylation, NaBH4 reduction and chlorination, and allows the living cationic polymerization of styrene which yields hexaarm star-shaped polymers as mentioned in this paper.
