ESR Studies on Chain Transfer Reactions: Rate Constants for the Reactions of Model Radicals of Polystyrene Growing Chain Ends with Tetrahalomethanes and Thiophenols

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.62.2474

The absolute rate constants for reactions of the model radicals of the growing chain ends of styrene and methacrylonitrile with tetrahalomethanes and thiophenols were determined by spin-trapping methods using ESR spectroscopy.The model radicals were produ
