Abstract
We determined the mechanism of the chain transfer reaction for the radical polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) by using 2D FTIR correlation spectroscopy and 2D hetero-spectral NMR/FTIR correlation spectroscopy. NVP was successfully polymerized using a radical polymerization process with AgNO3 as the chain transfer agent. 2D FTIR correlation spectra showed that there were two bands at 1660 and 1676Â cmâ1. These two bands at 1660 and 1676Â cmâ1, which were not readily noticeable in the 1D spectra, were clearly observed in the synchronous 2D correlation spectrum. The intensity of the band at 1660Â cmâ1 decreased before that at 1676Â cmâ1 increased during the polymerization reaction. The synchronous hetero-spectral 2D NMR/FTIR correlation spectra clearly showed that the bands at 1660 and 1676Â cmâ1 FTIR spectra can be assigned to the CC stretching band and the CO stretching band, respectively. Furthermore, the spectra revealed that the intensity of the CC stretching band changed first, followed by that of the CO stretching band changed.
