Abstract
High level ab initio molecular orbital calculations are used to study the additionfragmentation equilibrium constants of S-S'-bis(methyl-2-propionate)- trithiocarbonate mediated polymerization of methyl acrylate in toluene at 30°C. The results, which show strong solvent and chain length effects, are in good order of magnitude agreement with recent experimental results for a closely related system.
