Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) equilibrium constants (K(ATRP)) were determined using modified Fischer's equations for the persistent radical effect. The original Fischer's equations could be used only for low conversion of Cu(I) to X-Cu(II) and consequently for relatively low values of K(ATRP). At higher conversion to X-Cu(II) (>10%) and for larger values of K(ATRP) (>10(-)(7)), modified equations that take into account the changes in catalyst and initiator concentrations should be used. The validity of new equations was confirmed by detailed kinetic simulations. UV-vis spectrometric and GC measurements were used to follow the evolution of X-Cu(II) species and the initiator concentration, respectively, and to successfully determine values of K(ATRP) for several catalysts and alkyl halides. The effect of structure on reactivities of ATRP components is presented.
