The formation of PAMAM is a divergent form of this process. AIBN and a dithioester are common reagents in the RAFT form of this process.
The formation of PAMAM is a divergent form of this process. AIBN and a dithioester are common reagents in the RAFT form of this process. Miktoarm stars can be synthesized using a "living" form of this process, which produces a Poisson distribution of products. For one type of this process, N-sub-n is equal to 1 divided by 1 minus the extent of reaction, a relationship sometimes called the Carothers equation. Catalysts for this type of reaction are especially useful when they can control (*) dispersity or tacticity. Free radicals can be used to mediate this type of reaction via initiation, elongation, and termination steps. For 10 points, identify this type of reaction that comes in "step-growth" and "chain-growth" variants which synthesizes a macromolecule from a series of monomers.
