“…As TEMPO, NH 2 -TEMPO, and OH-TEMPO have been employed to mediate polymer growth in different heterogeneous NMP systems, [2,21,22] simulations were performed using the styrene-water partition coefficients corresponding to these nitroxides. At 135 8C the styrene-water partition coefficients of TEMPO, NH 2 -TEMPO, and OH-TEMPO are G j ¼ 98.8, 6.7 and 2.2, [14] respectively, where j corresponds to TEMPO, NH 2 -TEMPO, or OH-TEMPO.…”
