Abstract

Formula presented Addition polymerization is readily accomplished via free radicals and carbanions but conventional initiations via carbocations are limited principally by low initiator reactivity. Thermolyses of N-nitrosamides produce nitrogen-separated ion-pairs (NSIPs) containing exceedingly reactive carbocations. We report here the novel use of this facile mode of carbocation generation in the polymerization of styrene. Polystyrene of viscosity average molecular weight ∼10⁶ was obtained.
