Absolute rate constants of the vinyl benzoate polymerization have been measured by use of the intermittent illumination method in various aromatic solvents and ethyl acetate at 30°C. The determination of absolute rate constants showed that effects of solvent on the polymerization rate of vinyl benzoate were mainly ascribed to the variation ofkpvalues with solvents rather than that ofktvalues. Thekpvalues for solvents used increased in the order: benzonitrile < ethyl benzoate < anisole < chlorobenzene < benzene < fluorobenzene < ethyl acetate. There was an eightfold difference between the largest and the smallest values The large variation amongkpvalues was explained neither by the copolymerization through solvents nor the chain transfer to solvents, but by a reversible complex formation between the propagating radical and aromatic solvents. This explanation was supported by a correlation betweenkpvalues and calculated delocalization stabilizations for the complexes.
