^aPolymerization conditions: [MMA]: [EBPA]: [Eosin Y]: [i-Pr₂NEt] = 200:1:0.02:10 in DMF at RT in microreactor illuminated with green LEDs.

^bDetermined by ¹H NMR.

^cM_n theo = ([MMA]/[EBPA] × conversion × M_MMA) + M_EBPA; where [MMA] and [EBPA] are the concentrations of the monomer and the initiator, respectively and M_MMA and M_EBPA are their corresponding molar masses.

^dDetermined by GPC.

^eUsed for copolymerization with styrene.

^fPerformed in batch.

^gUsing p(OMe)-EBPA synthesized according to the procedure listed by Sharma and Tepe (2005).
