This compound was analyzed by 13C NMR and GC/ MS, resulting in a mixture of over 10 isomers. Because of different reactivities of the CTA isomers, the produced polystyrenes presented broad and bimodal molecular weight distributions (MWDs). A mathematical model was adjusted to the measurements, and the measured MWDs were adequately predicted when assuming the CTA as a binary mixture of high but different reactivities. _ 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
