Abstract
Novel bifunctional initiators have been designed with functional group s that independently produce free radicals. Initiators were synthesize d to contain both diazene (-N=N-) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1 -oxy (TEMPO) moieties tethered by ester or ether linkages. It is antic ipated that these compounds will be useful for producing a diverse num ber of block copolymers for applications in polymer-supported organic synthesis and materials science.
