Controlled/“Living” Radical Polymerization of Styrene and Methyl Methacrylate Catalyzed by Iron Complexes

Matyjaszewski, Krzysztof, Wei, Mingli, Xia, Jianhui, McDermott, Nancy E.·1997·Macromolecules

Abstract

Controlled/“living” radical polymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate has been achieved by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) catalyzed by iron halide complexes under both homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions. A variety of coordinating ligands have been used including 4,4‘-bis(5-nonyl)-2,2‘-bipyridine, trialkylamines, triphenylphosphine, trialkylphosphines, and trialkylphosphites. The polymer number-average molecular weight ( M n ) increases linearly with monomer conversion and matches the predicted molecular weight. The polymerization rate and molecular weight distribution ( M w / M n = 1.1−1.5) are affected by the structure of the coordinating ligands and the monomers employed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
