Abstract

The polymerization of acrylonitrile (M) initiated by the Ce(IV)-acetophenone (AP) redox pair has been studied in acetic-sulfuric acid mixtures in a nitrogen atmosphere. The rate of polymerization is proportional to [M]3/2, [AP]½ and [Ce(IV)]½. The rate of disappearance of ceric ion,-RCe, is proportional to [AP], [M], and [Ce(IV)]. The effect of certain salts, solvent, acid and temperature on both the rates have been investigated. A suitable kinetic scheme has been proposed, and the composite rate constants kp2(k/k/t) and k0/ki are reported.
