15. 2) have been reported. These systems are usually active under rather severe conditions and the nature of the species that initiate styrene polymerisation, i.e. coordinative/insertive mechanism and/or a radical initiation mechanism, remain ambiguous: E.

45. Spin trapping experiments were also conducted using PBN (N-tert-butyl-α-phenylnitrone) and led to identical conclusions. This spin trap agent also did not allow the unambiguous differentiation of butyl and styryl radicals
