Notes:
The autopolymerization of styrene in the presence of TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy free radical), with and without organic acids, such as benzoic acid and camphorsulfonic acid, was studied. Broad polydispersities are obtained in the absence of acid, whereas narrower polydispersities are obtained in their presence. The significance of these results for the synthesis of narrow polydispersity polystyrene by the TEMPO-mediated living polymerization process is discussed.
