It is an interesting observation that the discussion of bscission rates of acrylate derived MCRs is related to the ongoing debate about fragmentation rates of intermediate RAFT radicals that are related in their structure to MCRs. In this context, it is worth considering that the few available fragmentation rate coefficients for MRCs-when adjusted to 60 8C-give values that suggest a relatively slow fragmentation with lifetimes (with regard to fragmentation) of around a second. These lifetimes are in the same order of magnitude as those postulated for certain RAFT intermediate radicals. It is an outstanding research effort to reconcile these observations with other reports that suggest that RAFT intermediate radicals feature lifetimes of less than microseconds. For a detailed overview over the question of the stability of RAFT midchain radicals, the reader is referred to C. Barner-Kowollik, M. Buback, B. Charleux, M. L. Coote, M. Drache, T. Fukuda, A.
