1. A process of polymerizing a vinylic monomer, the process comprising:
combining a compound represented by Formula I with at least a first vinylic monomer to form a polymerization mixture; and heating the polymerization mixture to a temperature that is about 130° C. or greater, and for a time sufficient to polymerize the vinylic monomer and form a first polymer; wherein:
Formula I is: R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently H, F, Cl, Br, I, CN, COOH, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, C(O)O(alkyl), C(O)(alkyl), C(O)NH2, C(O)NH(alkyl), C(O)N(alkyl)2, or aryl, or R1 and R2, R2 and R3, or R3 and R4 form together a 5- or 6-membered carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring;R5, R6, R7, and R8 are independently aryl;R9 is an unpaired electron, CR10R11CN, CR10R11(aryl), CR10R11C(O)OH, CR10R11C(O)O(alkyl), CR10R11C(O)NH(alkyl), CR10R11C(O)N(alkyl)2, or CR10R11C(O)(aryl); andR10 and R11 are independently H, alkyl, or together with the carbon to which they are attached they form a 5 or 6 membered carbocyclic ring. |
