Abstract
The participation of electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes in alternating radical copolymerizations has been debated for nearly 40 years. It has been suggested that some alternating copolymerizations may not be copolymerizations at all but instead may proceed via successive concerted additions of 1: 1 comonomer complexes (2) to growing polymeric radicals (1). This is an intriguing idea and, if correct, would explain not only the alternating copolymer structure but also certain kinetic features of alternating copolymerization.
