Abstract
p-Phenylenediamine (p-PDA) is a monomer of many important polymers such as kevlar, twaron, poly-p-PDA. Most of the noticed polymers formation is initiated by a free-radical, but their polymerization mechanism is not elucidated computationally. The proposed study helps to fully understand the frequently utilized initiator/oxidant, potassium persulfate (K2 S2 O8 ) role in the aromatic diamines polymerization, which support experimental protocols, and a polymer scope. The formation of the poly-p-PDA is studied with the density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP-D3 functional using experimental polymerization parameters (0°C and aqueous media). K2 S2 O8 initiated free-radical polymerization of p-PDA is studied in detail, taking into account sulfate free-radical (SO4 - )· , SFR, persulfate anion (S2 O8 )2- , PA and K2 S2 O8 cluster, PP. The reaction mechanism is calculated as the conversion of p-PDA to free-radical, the p-PDA free-radical attack to the next p-PDA (dimerization), ammonia extrusion from the dimer adduct, the dimer adduct conversion to the free-radical (completion of p-PDA polymerization cycle) for the polymer chain elongation. Calculations show that the dimerization step is the rate-limiting step with a 29.2 kcal/mol energy barrier when SFR initiates polymerization. In contrast, the PA-assisted dimerization energy barrier is only 12.7 kcal/mol. PP supported polymerization is calculated to have very shallow energy barriers completing the polymerization cycle, i.e., dimerization (TS2K, ∆G‡ = 11.6 kcal/mol) and ammonia extrusion (TS3K, ∆G‡ = 6.7 kcal/mol).

Abstract
Catalyst-free photocontrolled reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization avoids the side effects of photocatalysts but has the accompanying slow kinetics, thereby warranting more efficient photolysis and faster chain transfer. To understand the underlying mechanisms, both quantitative and qualitative interpretations are needed. Such a goal can be achieved by the iCAS (imposed automatic selection and localization of complete active spaces) approach [J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2021, 17, 4846], which maintains the same CAS and meanwhile provides localized orbitals along the whole reaction. Taking dithiobenzoate as a representative of RAFT agents, it is found here that electron-donating substitution (by methoxy) clearly outperforms both electron-standing (by methyl) and electron-withdrawing (by cyano) substitutions in facilitating photo-RAFT polymerization, by narrowing the gap between the π* and σ* orbitals, so as to facilitate the π* → σ* charge transfer dominating both the photolysis and chain transfer processes. Such findings are of general values.

Abstract
Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) single unit monomer insertion (SUMI) of β-methylstyrene derivatives into diverse RAFT agents presented fast reaction kinetics, but significant degradation of the SUMI products occurred due to a hydrogen abstraction reaction. Fortunately, such degradation can be suppressed through appropriate design of initial RAFT agents attributed to effective chain transfer and selective photoactivation.

Abstract
In recent decades, quantum chemical calculations (QCC) have increased in accuracy, not only providing the ranking of chemical reactivities and energy barriers (e.g., for optimal selectivities) but also delivering more reliable equilibrium and (intrinsic/chemical) rate coefficients. This increased reliability of kinetic parameters is relevant to support the predictive character of kinetic modeling studies that are addressing actual concentration changes during chemical processes, taking into account competitive reactions and mixing heterogeneities. In the present contribution, guidelines are formulated on how to bridge the fields of computational chemistry and chemical kinetics. It is explained how condensed phase systems can be described based on conventional gas phase computational chemistry calculations. Case studies are included on polymerization kinetics, considering free and controlled radical polymerization, ionic polymerization, and polymer degradation. It is also illustrated how QCC can be directly linked to material properties.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) such as choline dihydrogen phosphate exhibit an extraordinary solubilizing ability for proteins such as cytochrome C when mixed with 20 wt % water. Most widely used imidazolium-based ionic liquids coupled with dihydrogen phosphate do not exhibit the same solubilizing properties, suggesting that a multifunctional cation such as choline might play a key role in enhancing these properties of ionic liquid mixtures with water. In this theoretical work, we compare intermolecular interactions between the water molecule and ionic liquid ions in two ion-paired clusters of choline- and 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium-based ionic liquids coupled with acetate, dihydrogen phosphate, and mesylate. Gibbs free energy (GFE) of solvation of water in these ionic liquids was calculated. Incorporation of a water molecule into ionic liquid clusters was accompanied by negative GFEs of solvation in both types of cations. These results were in good agreement with previously reported experimental GFEs of solvation of water in ILs. Compared to imidazolium-based clusters, strong interionic interactions of choline ionic liquids resulted in more negative GFEs due to their smaller deformation upon the addition of a water molecule, with dihydrogen phosphate and mesylate predicting the lowest GFEs of -30.1 and -43.5 kJ/mol-1, respectively. Lower GFEs of solvation of water in choline-based clusters were also accompanied with smaller entropic penalties, suggesting that water easily incorporates itself into the existing ionic network. Analysis of the intramolecular bonds within the water molecule showed that the choline hydroxyl group donates electron density to the neighboring water molecule, leading to additional polarization. The predicted infrared spectra of clusters of ionic liquids with water showed a pronounced red shift due to strongly polarized O-H bonds, in excellent agreement with the experimentally measured infrared spectra of ionic liquid mixtures with water. Increased polarization of water in choline-based ionic liquids undoubtedly creates more effective solvents for stabilizing biological molecules such as proteins.

Abstract
Controlled degradation of polypropylene (PP) is used industrially to improve the properties of crude PP. While this degradation is traditionally initiated by organic peroxides, N-acyloxyamines are now preferred due to their greater stability. However, their mechanism of action remains unclear. Using high-level ab initio calculations, we show that N-O homolysis is the most likely fragmentation pathway available to N-acyloxyamines, in contrast to the more usual C-O homolysis observed for the closely related N-alkoxyamines. This would, in theory, generate aminyl and carboxylate radicals, with the latter undergoing decarboxylation to generate methyl radicals. However, the enol forms of N-acyloxyamines are significantly less thermally stable, having bond dissociation free energies that are over 50 kJ/mol below those of their keto equivalents. Under conditions where keto-enol tautomerism is feasible, enol N-O homolysis, which forms the more stable acetic acid radical, would be the dominant degradation pathway. This reveals the crucial and underappreciated role that polar impurities play in the initiation process of enolizable initiators and may explain contradictory observations in the experimental literature. The product aminyl radicals are susceptible to β-fragmentation, releasing alkyl radicals and affording imines, which in turn are susceptible to allylic H-abstraction and further β-fragmentation leading to dialkylpyridines as the ultimate degradation products.

Abstract
Electrochemical activation of thiocarbonylthio reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents (S=C(Z)S-R) is explored as a potential method for initiating RAFT polymerization under mild conditions without producing initiator-derived byproducts. Herein we apply cyclic voltammetry to establish a predominant reduction mechanism, where electrochemical reduction is coupled to an irreversible first-order chemical reaction. Structure-dependent trends in cyclic voltammograms (CVs), and comparison to absorption spectra, clarify the role of R- and Z-groups in determining reduction processes. The major reduction peak moves to more cathodic potentials in the series dithiobenzoates > trithiocarbonates > heteroaromatic dithiocarbamates > xanthates ∼ N-alkyl-N-aryldithiocarbamates, due to the Z-group influence on thiocarbonyl bond reactivity. More active (electron-withdrawing, radical stabilizing) R-groups shift the reduction peak anodically, in part due to their influence on the rate of the coupled chemical reaction. Analysis of CVs across a range of scan rates revealed that kinetic control over the reduction mechanism is influenced by both the charge transfer rate and chemical reaction rate.

Abstract
2-cyano-2-propyl dithiobenzoates (CPDB)-mediated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was monitored by online flow microreactor/mass spectrometry. This enabled the reactions to be followed in a time-resolved manner, closely resolving product patterns in the reaction mixtures at any point in time. RAFT polymerization was investigated for low RAFT to monomer ratios, enabling the monitoring of the early stages of a typical RAFT polymerization. The expected transition from pre- to the RAFT main equilibrium is observed. However, very high abundancies for cross-termination products were also identified, both in the pre- and main equilibrium stage. This is a somewhat surprising result as such products have always been expected, but to date have not been observed in the majority of studies. Product isolation and NMR analysis revealed that cross-termination occurs in the para position of the benzoate ring and becomes fully irreversible via re-aromatization of the ring in a H-shift reaction. The present data suggest a pronounced chain-length dependence of the cross-termination reaction, which would explain why the products are seen here, but not in other studies.

Abstract
Experimental studies have noted the often surprising and unpredictable effect of ionic liquids as solvents on reaction kinetics for radical polymerisation. We theoretically investigate the energetic and structural effects of ionic liquids, both protic and aprotic, on radical stability, presenting stabilisation of the radical by the ionic liquid by up to -78.0 kJ mol-1. Kinetic data relating to propagating systems for several industrially viable monomers indicate that propagation rates can be increased or decreased (by up to 6 orders of magnitude) depending on the monomer and ionic liquid combination. The interplay of activation entropy and activation enthalpy, much of which depends on hydrogen bonding between the solvent and reactants, play a crucial role in controlling reaction kinetics. It is concluded that the use of cheaper protic ionic liquids as solvents may be viable for improved kinetic control over radical reactions.

Abstract
Ab-initio-calculated rate coefficients for addition and fragmentation in reversible-addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of styrene with 2-cyano-2-propyl dodecyl trithiocarbonate initiated by azobisisobutyronitrile allow the reliable simulation of the experimentally observed conversion, number average chain length, and dispersity. The rate coefficient for addition of a macroradical Ri to the macroRAFT agent Ri X at 333 K (6.8 104 L mol-1 s-1 ) is significantly lower than to the initial RAFT agent R0 X (3.2 106 L mol-1 s-1 ), mainly due to a difference in activation energy (15.4 vs 3.0 kJ mol-1 ), which causes the dispersity to spike in the beginning of the polymerization.

Abstract
This work demonstrates the effect of electrostatic interactions on the electroactivity of a persistent organic free radical. This was achieved by chemisorption of molecules of 4-azido-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperdinyloxy (4-azido-TEMPO) onto monolayer-modified Si(100) electrodes using a two-step chemical procedure to preserve the open-shell state and hence the electroactivity of the nitroxide radical. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for the surface electrochemical reaction are investigated experimentally and analyzed with the aid of electrochemical digital simulations and quantum-chemical calculations of a theoretical model of the tethered TEMPO system. Interactions between the electrolyte anions and the TEMPO grafted on highly doped, i.e., metallic, electrodes can be tuned to predictably manipulate the oxidizing power of surface nitroxide/oxoammonium redox couple, hence showing the practical importance of the electrostatics on the electrolyte side of the radical monolayer. Conversely, for monolayers prepared on the poorly doped electrodes, the electrostatic interactions between the tethered TEMPO units and the semiconductor-side, i.e., space-charge, become dominant and result in drastic kinetic changes to the electroactivity of the radical monolayer as well as electrochemical nonidealities that can be explained as an increase in the self-interaction "a" parameter that leads to the Frumkin isotherm.

Novel Complex Polymers with Carbazole Functionality by Controlled Radical Polymerization. INT J POLYM SCI 2012.

Abstract
This review summarizes recent advances in the design and synthesis of novel complex polymers with carbazole moieties using controlled radical polymerization techniques. We focus on the polymeric architectures of block copolymers, star polymers, including star block copolymers and miktoarm star copolymers, comb-shaped copolymers, and hybrids. Controlled radical polymerization ofN-vinylcarbazole (NVC) and styrene and (meth)acrylate derivatives having carbazole moieties is well advanced, leading to the well-controlled synthesis of complex macromolecules. Characteristic optoelectronic properties, assembled structures, and three-dimensional architectures are briefly introduced.

Abstract
A small-molecular model reaction was designed to probe the reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process. In this reaction, alkoxyamine releases radicals that react in situ with dithioester through the RAFT process, generating new radicals through the fragmentation of the intermediate radical. The new radicals can be trapped by free 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinyl-N-oxyl radicals (TEMPO) from homolysis of alkoxyamine. The overall reaction is the crossover of the leaving groups between alkoxyamine and dithioester. The advantage of this model as a probe of the RAFT process is that it does not involve polymerization-related elementary reactions such as initiation, propagation, and chain length dependent termination. The kinetics of the model reaction were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography, and then fitted by Monte Carlo simulation to estimate rate coefficients. The obtained rate coefficients of addition for various dithioesters fell into a narrow range of 107–108 L mol–1 s–1, whereas the rate coefficient of fragmentation was model-dependent. It was also found that a significant fraction of the dithioester was consumed by an unspecified additional mechanism. A tentative explanation is proposed in which the intermediate radical undergoes a secondary RAFT reaction with dithioesters, forming a secondary intermediate that serves as a radical reservoir.
