polymerizations can be made to proceed rapidly at room temperature [

]. The atom transfer
polymerization reaction can be illustrated as follows:
Polymerizations of styrene using 2,2
0
-dipyridyl as the ligand indicated that they proceed first order
with respect to the concentration of initiator, and 0.4 and 0.6 orders with respect to the concentration
of Cu(l) halide and ligand [
