In a typical experiment, a dry round-bottom flask with a magnetic stir bar was charged with CuBr (0.13 g, 0.94 mmol), 2,2′-bipyridine (0.44 g, 2.8 mmol), styrene (10 mL, 0.087 mol), and diphenyl ether (10 mL). The flask was fitted with a rubber septum and degassed by three freeze-pump-thaw cycles. The flask was then immersed in an oil bath thermostated at 110°C. The polymerization was initiated by the addition of degassed 1-phenylethyl bromide (0.13 mL, 0.94 mmol). After 6.5 h, the polystyrene macroinitiator was obtained by precipitation into methanol.

20. In a typical experiment, a dry glass tube with a magnetic stir bar was charged with CuBr (10.0 mg, 0.07 mmol), ligand (0.07 or 0.14 mmol), polystyrene macroinitiator (0.2 g, 0.06 mmol), DVB, and anisole (∼1 mL). The glass tube was degassed by three freeze-pump-thaw cycles and sealed under vacuum. The glass tube was then immersed in an oil bath thermostated at 110°C. After a certain time, the glass tube was taken out and broken. The sample was dissolved in THF to measure conversion (GC) and molecular weight (SEC).
