QSRR Correlation of Free-Radical Polymerization
Chain-Transfer Constants for Styrene
Quantitative structure-reactivity relationships (QSRR) are deduced for
kinetic chain-transfer constants for 90 agents on styrene polymerization at 60
C.
Three- and five-parameter correlations were obtained with R2
of 0.725 and 0.818, respectively. The descriptors involved in the correlations
are consistent with the proposed mechanism of the chain-transfer reactions.
