Boldface numbers emphasize the variable of interest in a series of experiments. Ratios are molar. AIBN, azobisisobutyronitrile; GPC, gel-permeation chromatography; EtBrPA, ethyl α-bromophenylacetate. [St]0/[EtBrIB]0 = 200; [St]0 = 5.82 M; 50% anisole by volume; [BA]0/[EtBrIB]0 = 160; [BA]0 = 5.88 M; 20% anisole by volume; [MMA]0/[EtBrPA]0 = 200; [MMA]0 = 6.23 M; 50% anisole by volume.
