The polymerizations of acrylonitrile, methyl methacrylate and styrene initiated by copper(II) chelates were studied in the presence of carbon tetrachloride. Polymeric and dimeric compounds of vinyl alcohol, that is poly(vinyl alcohol) and 1,3‐propanediol were chosen as ligands. It was found that these systems could initiate the polymerization of methyl methacrylate and styrene effectively. The activity of the polymer chelate was estimated by varying the metal/ligand mole ratio of the initiator system, the pH values and the polymerization temperature. From the results, the mechanism of the free‐radical formation was discussed.
