Abstract

Control agents that have a nitrogen—nitrogen bond in a cyclic ring covalently bonded to a thiocarbonyl moiety are provided for living-type free radical polymerization without a bimodal molecular weight distribution at high monomer conversions. These control agents provide superior properties for the production of block polymers having narrow molecular weight distributions.
