Initiation mechanbm
Based on the results discussed above, the following initiation mechanism of the
TMEDA/persulfate system via contact charge transfer complex ( CCT) and cyclic transition state (C TS) may be proposed. - so:-
1 + 'OSO,H 5 CTS
5 + H20 - HSOa + HO. 6
The free radicals 1 , 5 and 6 are responsible for the initiation of vinyl polymeriza-
tion. In the absence of monomers, the primary free radical 1 may undergo fi-scission
to form free radical 3 and the unstable imino compound 4 , which will react with water
to form methylamine and formaldehyde6).
