35. The K value at 0 °C was underestimated, probably because the degree of association was too large to determine K under the given conditions.

37. As described at the section on mechanism, the heterotactic-specificity would be induced when propagating reaction proceeds between the NIPAAm complexed with RfOH and the radical bound with RfOHs at the antepenultimate, penultimate, and chain-end monomeric units. If assuming that degree of association between 3 and monomeric unit near the propagating chain-end is the same as that for the NIPAAm-3 complex, probability of the aforementioned propagating reaction in the presence of an equimolar amount of 3 is calculated to be 0.85. Furthermore, it is assumed that the radicals bound with RfOHs favor propagating reaction with uncomplexed monomer more than complexed monomer, because of the repulsion of fluorine atoms in complexed radicals and complexed monomers. Therefore, it is reasonable that the heterotactic-specificity induced by an equimolar amount of 3 significantly decreased compared with that by a twofold amount of 3, although the difference in degree of association of the NIPAAm-3 complex was only 4%.
