The kinetics of addition and fragmentation in reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization: an ab initio study

Abstract

High-level ab initio calculations of the forward and reverse rate coefficients have been performed for a series of prototypical reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) reactions: R· + S=C(Z)SCH3 → R-SC·(Z)SCH3, for R = CH 3, with Z = C Show more
