Abstract
Polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with triethanolamine (TEA) and carbon tetrachloride has been investigated in the presence of PdCl2 and in a dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) medium by employing a dilatometric technique at 60°C. The rate of polymerization has been obtained under the conditions [CCl4]/[TEA] ≤ 1. The kinetic date indicate the possible participation of the charge-transfer complex formed between the {amine–PdII} complex and CCl4 in the polymerization of MMA. In the absence of either CCl4 or amine, no polymerization of MMA was observed under the present experimental conditions. The rate of polymerization was inhibited by hydroquinone, suggesting a free-radical initiation. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 32: 171–177, 2000
