[M1] = [BA] = 1 M, [M2] = [MPDL] = 0.5 M, [I] = [EBiB] = 10 mM, 10 ml total; L – Me6TREN; reaction solvent – DMF; RI – radical initiator: entry 1 – AIBN (Tt1/2=10h = 65 °C), entry 2– V40 (Tt1/2=10h = 88°C), entry 3– Vam110 (Tt1/2=10h = 110 °C); RO – % of MPDL monomer in ring-opened form to ring-closed form; Mnth – theoretical mass, fMPDL – fraction of MPDL incorporated into the p(BA) backbone, monomer conversion was measured by 1H NMR; M̄n and M̄w was obtained by THF GPC with PMMA calibration standards.
