Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a Universal Alkoxyamine for “Living” Free Radical Polymerizations
TL;DR: In this article, a variety of different alkoxyamine structures led to α-hydrido derivatives based on a 2,2,5-trimethyl-4-phenyl-3-azahexane-3oxy, 1, skeleton which were able to control the polymerization of styrene, acrylate and acrylamide based monomers.

Journal ArticleDOI
Nitroxide decomposition: Implications toward nitroxide design for applications in living free-radical polymerization
Aaron Nilsen,Rebecca Braslau +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new mechanism was proposed for the decomposition of t-butylisopropylphenyl nitroxide (TIPNO) involving the formation of a head-to-tail dimer, single electron transfer to form an oxammonium salt, epimerization to the corresponding nitrone, and elimination to form a conjugated oxime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distance-Dependent Fluorescence Quenching and Binding of CdSe Quantum Dots by Functionalized Nitroxide Radicals
Chittreeya Tansakul,Erin Lilie,Eric D. Walter,Frank Rivera,Abraham Wolcott,Jin Z. Zhang,Glenn L. Millhauser,Rebecca Braslau +7 more
TL;DR: Fluorescence measurements show that quenching of QD luminescence is nonlinear, with a strong dependence on the distance between the radical and the QD, suggesting that the fluorescence quench of QDs by nitroxide binding is a reversible process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-temperature preparations of unimolecular nitroxide initiators for living free radical polymerizations
TL;DR: In this article, a low-temperature method for the preparation of monomeric initiators for use in living free radical olefin polymerizations has been developed, which uses PbO2 with benzylic, alkyl, or phenylhydrazines or CuCl2 with lithium enolates.
