Radical Copolymerizations of Vinyl Monomers in a Porous Coordination Polymer

Abstract

Abstract Radical copolymerizations of vinyl monomers, such as styrene, methyl methacrylate, and vinyl acetate, in the nanochannels of a porous coordination polymer have been studied. The results are compared with those obtained for the corresponding free radical copolymerizations, which shows a spatial confinement effect on the monomer reactivity ratios in this system.
