Free-radical pathways to create this class of molecule contain initiation, elongation, and termination steps.
One method to make this class of compound has its rate controlled by a redox equilibrium between Cu (I) ("copper one") and Cu (II) ("copper two") halides and is called ATRP. Two center aluminum-titanium complexes can control the tacticity of these molecules via the Cossee-Arlman mechanism; those complexes are (*) Ziegler-Natta catalysts. Free-radical pathways to create this class of molecule contain initiation, elongation, and termination steps. Commercial examples of these molecules include the aromatic Kevlar, derived from nylon, as well as plastics. For 10 points, name this class of molecules, referring to those composed of multiple repeated subunits called monomers.
