“…[148] Polymerization Mediated by Organotellurium, Organobismuthine, and Organostibine Reagents The mechanism and application of radical polymerization mediated by organotellurium (TERP), organobismuthine, and organostibine compounds has been reviewed. [149,150] Recent papers have described the use of TERP in surfactant-free emulsion polymerization of BA [151] and St, [152,153] the preparation of polymer monoliths based on crosslinked poly (Am), [154] the use of poly(NIPAm)-b-poly(NVP) for solubilization of C 60 , [155] the use of heteroatom-metal exchange reactions in end-group transformation of polymers (poly(BA), poly (MMA), poly(HEMA), poly(NIPAm)) in organostibine or organobismuth-mediated polymerization [156] and the use of organostibine-mediated polymerization in St/MMA copolymerization. [157] The end-groups of methacrylic polymers (poly(BA), poly (MMA), poly(HEMA), poly(MAN)) formed by TERP or organostibine-mediated polymerization can be eliminated to form macromonomers in high yield through reaction with (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy (TEMPO) (and formation of an alkoxyamine intermediate) or the addition-fragmentation chain transfer agent, ethyl 2-[(tributylstannyl)methyl]acrylate.…”
