Porphyrins and Their Metal Complexes in Radical Polymerization of Vinyl Monomers

The influence of various porphyrins and their metal complexes which differ in ligand environment and nature of center metal atom on kinetic features of radical polymerization of vinyl monomers, initiated by azo-bis-isobutyronitrile or benzoyl peroxide and on molecular weight characteristics of obtained polymers was studied.Feasible polymerization schemes were proposed.
