Arenetricarbonylchromium Complexes in Polymerization Transformations by Radical Initiation of Vinyl Polymerization

The article is devoted to the systematization of investigations of arenetricarbonylchromium complexes in radical polymerization transformation at the initiation of vinyl polymerization. The presented data are shown that these compounds are promising and interesting model systems for the study of the phenomenon of the metal atom action on the reactivity of the monomer π-bond. The correlation between the structure of metal-containing monomers and polymerization parameters, as well as the molecular mass properties of the resulting polymers, are discussed.
