Abstract
The polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl acrylate (EA), styrene (St) and 2-vinyl pyridine (VP) is initiated upon irradiation at λ>350 nm of dichloromethane solutions containing N-ethoxy-2-methylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate (EMP + PF 6 - ) and anthracene or thioxanthone. Initiation mechanisms involving the formation of ethoxyl radicals during the decomposition of EMP + ions via electron transfer are proposed.
