Vinyl Polymerization Initiated by Reducing Compounds of Transition Metals. VII. Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate in the Presence of Molybdenum(III) Chloride/Sulfoxide SystemsThe polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by the molybdenum(III) chloride/dimethyl sulfoxide redox system was carried out at 70° in 1, 4-dioxane. The rate of polymerization can be described by the equation Rp = k · [MoCl3]0,5 · [DMSO]0,5 · [MMA]1,0. The overall activation energy was estimated to be 36.0 kJ/mol. It was found that diethyl, dipropyl, dibutyl, diphenyl and dibenzyl sulfoxides could also initiate the polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of molybdenum(III) chloride, whereas vanadium(II) chloride, vanadium(III) chloride, titanium(III) chloride and chromium(II) acetate are inactive in combination with sulfoxides.
