## Abstract The free‐radical copolymerization of methyl acrylate with styrene initiated by triphenylstibonium 1,2,3,4‐tetraphenylcyclopentadienylide under nitrogen blanket at (60 ± 0.1)°C in 1,4,dioxane for 2 h has been carried out. The kinetic expression is __R~p~__ ∝ [I]^0.14^ [MA]^0.70^ [Sty]^0.

✦ Synopsis
Two new monomers based on thioxanthone, 2-(3@-acryloxy)propoxythioxanthone (M-2) and 1-methyl-4-(3@-acryloxy)propoxythioxanthone (M-4), were prepared and their radical copolymerization at 70¡C with methyl methacrylate (MMA) was studied. By varying the conversion reached for a Ðxed feed composition, and using Jaacks method, the reactivity ratios were f MMA \ 0É983, determined. Identical values of reactivity ratios were found for both systems, with values of and The homopolymerization of MMA r MMA \ 2É46 r Mv2 \ r Mv4 \ 0É4. in the presence of a model compound, 1-methyl-4-propoxythioxanthone, was also examined and conÐrmed that the thioxanthone chromophore does not have any inÑuence on the free radical polymerization of MMA.

The copolymerization of propylene with 1-octene was carried out with rac-dimethylsilylbis (2,4,6-trimethylindenyl)zirconium dichloride as a catalyst activated by methylaluminoxane (MAO) and an MAO/triisobutylaluminum mixture. The copolymerization conditions, including the polymerization temperature,
