58. A simple measure of the compaclness of dendrons is the number of atoms between the branching points, which for PG2 are denoted as BP in Scheme 1. Note that for nonsymmetric dendrons the branches can consist of many different atoms. For the dendronized polymer PG2 the numbers of atoms between BPs are 2,4 (see Scheme 1). 3.3: a) S. M.

63. High purity is a prerequisite for spontaneous polymerization. It is reasonable to assume that the polymerization is initiated by some inadvertently formed radical: A. Zhang, B. Zhang, E. Wächtersbach, M. Schmidt, A. D. Schlüter, Chem. Eur. J. 2003, 9, 6083.

77. From the work of Okamoto and Nakano on trityl polymethacrylates with extended chromophores associated with the trityl groups, it is known that polymethacrylates must have high backbone tacticity in order to adopt a helical conformation; a) T.
