Description
The radical polymerizations of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) in chloroform at low temperatures in the presence of pyridine N-oxide (PNO) derivatives were investigated. It was found that the methylation at meta-positions of PNO improved the isotactic-specificity induced by PNO, whereas the methylation at ortho-positions prevented the induction of the isotactic-specificity. NMR analysis revealed that NIPAAm and PNO derivatives formed predominantly 2:1 complex through a hydrogen bonding interaction. Furthermore, the induction of the isotactic-specificity was attributed to the conformationally-limited propagating radicals. Based on these findings, the mechanism of the isotactic-specific radical polymerization was discussed.
