| Abstract: | In situ ATRPs of MMA, St in the presence of TD catalyzed by FeCl3/PPh3 and CuBr2/bpy have been studied, respectively. The results showed that the initiator Et2NCS2X (X = Cl or Br) and catalyst FeCl2 or CuBr were formed in situ from the initiating components and the polymerization exhibited living radical polymerization characteristics. In the case of St polymerization with TD/CuBr/bpy initiating system, an inverse ATRP was observed. |
