M. Gonzalez et al., NEUTRAL SALT EFFECT IN THE POLYMERIZATION OF N-VINYLCARBAZOLE BY TRITYL CATION IN NITROBENZENE, Pure and applied chemistry, A32(10), 1995, pp. 1773-1780
The polymerization of N-vinylcarbazole in the presence of the PhCH(2)(
CH3)(3)N+SbF6- salt has been studied at different temperatures (293 an
d 308 K) in nitrobenzene. An increase in k(p) at high [salt]/[I](0) ra
tios has been observed which can be explained by the strong interactio
ns of the nitrobenzene solvent with the monomer and the propagating sp
ecies.
