Unveiling the zwitterionic nature of an ethyl piperazine-based dithiocarbamate chain transfer agent for achieving high molar mass polyvinyl acetate: experimental and computational insights
A more stable zwitterionic form, rather than an active CS state, makes dithiocarbamate based CTA-1 a less active system. The low addition rates of CTA-1 enhance its compatibility with the polymerization of the VAc monomer.
