15. The Cu-di(Heptyl)Bi-py catalyst system adopted here is an adaption of that used by Matyjaszewski in ATRP reactions (see T.E. Patten, J. Xia, T. Abernathy, and K. Matyjaszewski Science 272 1996 866 868) The use of this ligand system in ATRC reactions wil be reported elsewhere (Fengas, D.; Quayle, P.;, Richards, S. N. in preparation)
