Trommsdorff names an effect where these reactions can experience undesirable runaway behavior due to autoacceleration.
Cobalt based catalysts can be used to mediate these reactions using a CCT mechanism to account for their high rates. Degenerate transfer reactions help control the outcome of these reactions. Thiocarbamates serve as "iniferter" used to control these reactions. Trommsdorff names an effect where these reactions can experience undesirable runaway behavior due to autoacceleration. The products of these reactions can follow a (*) Schulz-Zimm distribution, although the "reversible deactivation" class of these reactions produces a Poisson distribution of products. Backbiting and beta-scission reactions are undesirable side reactions to these reactions. AIBN or benzoyl peroxide can be used to initiate these reactions, an example of which is RAFT. These sort of reactions can proceed through anionic, cationic, or radical centers, all of which are chain-growth mechanisms. For 10 points, name these macromolecule forming reactions.
