Abstract
A novel hexafunctional discotic initiator, 2,3,6,7,11,12-hexakis(2-bromobutyryloxy)triphenylene was synthesized by the esterification of 2,3,6,7,11,12-hexahydroxytriphenylene with 2-bromobutyryl chloride. Atom transfer radical polymerizations of styrene, methyl acrylate, and n-butyl acrylate were carried out in 50 vol % tetrahydrofuran with HBTP/copper(I) bromide/2,2′-bipyridyl as an initiation system. The polymers produced had well-controlled molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions (
