6. Complex Polymer Growth a. Propose a synthesis of the following compound using a commercial carboxylic acid functionalized azo-initiator, ACVA (structure shown below), and any other reagents you may need: NC- CN HOOC, CN COOH NC NC N=N -CN b. Using the above initiator to polymerize methyl methacrylate you find that termination occurs 0.02% as frequently as monomer addition. What would you expect Mn to be (Mo = 100.1 g/mol)?
