Networks are formed when free‐radical polymerization is initiated (thermally or photochemically) by a system consisting of a metal carbonyl or other zero‐valent metal derivative and a polyfunctional halide [e.g., poly(vinyl trichloracetate)] in a monomer for which termination is at least partly by combination. These reactions are suitable for investigations of the formation and also the preparation of networks. In ideal cases the ratio of combination to disproportionation in the termination reaction may be estimated. Some factors which may cause deviation from ideal behavior will also be discussed.
