^aGeneral conditions as in Table 1.

^bThe slope of the ln([M]₀/[M]) vs time plot.

^cZ-average particles diameter by DLS before polymerization.

^d[AsAc]/[Cu^II] = 0.5, AsAc injected dropwise at t = 0 h.

^e[AsAc]/[Cu^II] = 0.4 injected dropwise every 30 min, unless otherwise noted.

^fBr–Cu^IIBPMODA*⁺ was used as catalyst; [AsAc]/[Cu^II] = 0.5 injected at t = 0 h.
