44. As controls, polymerizations were performed in the absence of AIBN using various styrene:CTA ratios (up to 200:1). After 2 days at 110 °C, no polymer was observed when either 3 or 4 was used as the CTA. These results suggested to us that AIBN was essential for forming active radicals and hence polymer.
45. Molecular weights and polydispersities were determined using gel permeation chromatography (eluent = DMF/LiBr or THF) and are reported relative to polystyrene standards.
