Notes:
The kinetics and mechanism of the inhibiting action of toluene on the Ce(IV) initiated polymerization of acrylonitrile were studied together with the effects of [M], [Ce(IV)], [Toluene], [HClO4], [NaClO4], and [Acetic acid] on the rate of polymerization. The values of composite rate constant kkt/kpkoki for toluene (and substituted toluenes) was calculated by plotting [M]/Rp versus [M]-1. A very significant observation in the present study was that the plot of [M]/Rp versus [M]-1 gave a negative intercept, which seems to be a general observation for all inhibiting substrates. On the basis of the experimental data, it could be concluded that the benzyl radical obtained by hydrogen abstraction, and not a chain transfer, is responsible for the inhibition.
