48. A series of polymers with chromophore contents up to 10% were obtained by copolymerization of 2 with MMA in benzene solution (experimental). A higher degree of functionalization did not decrease the molecular weight of the polymer significantly. This proves that incorporation of 2 does not terminat the polymerization and suggests an even distribution of 2 in the polymer.
