Methyl methacrylate (MMA) can be polymerized by the charge-transfer complex formed by the interaction of melamine (MM), MMA and carbon tetrachloride in a non-aqueous solvent like dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) or N-N-dimethylformamide. The polymerization can be accelerated by Lewis acids like Fe 3+. Thi

✦ Synopsis
The triphenylphosphine (TPP) initiated polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) has been studied. The polymerization was found to be solvent-sensitive and could be accelerated by Lewis acids like Fe 3÷ . Kinetic studies showed that the propagation was free radical in nature. The charge transfer complex formed between MMA and TPP in DMSO was thought to be responsible for the initiation of polymerization. From spectrophotometric studies and also from studies of the molecular weights of polymers, it has been concluded that a transition metal ion-activated dipole interaction between carbonyl oxygen and the phosphorus atom is responsible for the accelerated rate of polymerization.
