Evaluation of the reactivity of vinyl monomers by catalytic thermometric titrimetry

Abstract

Dihydroxamic acids contain two bidentate ligand groups and are very powerful chelating agents for metal ions. Five water-soluble acids of the general formula HONHCO(CH2),-CONHOH were examined by differential-pulse voltammetry (DPV), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and microcoulometry (MC).The acids were prepared by J. Glennon at Cork University using procedures of Brown and co workers.1.2 The acids listed in Table 1 were investigated.A series of Prideaux buffers were used as supporting electrolytes, with suitable amounts of potassium nitrate added,

Kinetic determinations and some kinetic aspects of analytical chemistry

“…Thus, a wide range of monomers can be screened rapidly for their ability to undergo polymerization at room temperature upon treatment with strongly acidic or basic catalytic titrants. The increase in temperature occurring after the initiation of the polymerization reaction-whether cationic or anionic-is a measure of the monomer reactivity (130).…”
