Abstract
A novel nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP) control agent; 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2,3-dihydro-2-azaphenalen-2-yloxyl (TMAO), was used in the free-radical polymerization of styrene. The conversion of styrene during NMP was studied using FT-Raman spectroscopy and the effectiveness of TMAO as a NMP control agent was assessed by GPC analysis. Fidelity of the TMAO-alkoxyamine end-group on the synthesized polymers was confirmed by GPC, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopic analyses. Comparison to the well known NMP control agent, TEMPO was made. TMAO showed control of molecular weight approaching that of TEMPO. Attempts to improve the properties of TMAO as an NMP control agent by synthesizing an analogue with bulkier substituents around the nitroxide did not generate the target molecule but demonstrated some of the interesting chemistry of the azaphenalene ring system

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
