Notes:
Radical copolymerizations of isomeric N-(4-substituted phenyl)isocitraconimides 7a-f and 9a-f (M1) with styrene (ST) (M2) were performed at 60°C, using 2,2′-azoisobutyronitrile as initiator in tetrahydrofuran, in order to study the substitutent effect on the copolymerization parameters. From the results, the monomer reactivity rations were determined as r1 = 0,0,81 ≤ r2 = 1,76 in the 7/ST systems, and r1 = 0, 0,27 ≤ r2 ≤ 0,42 in the system 9/ST. It was found that the relative reactivities (1/r2) of 7 toward the polystyrly radical cannot be correlated by the polar-substituent constant (σ) but by the resonance-substituent constant (ER) in the modified Hammett equation: log(1/r2) = ρσ + γER. Furthermore, the monomer reactivity ratios considering the influence of the penultimate effect were also determined, and the substituent effect of 7 and 9 was studied according to the above equation.
