Nitroxide‐ and bromo‐terminated polystyrenes resulting from “living” free radical polymerization processes have been “functionalized” by a combination reaction with tetraphenylethane based derivatives i.e. 1,1,2,2‐tetraphenyl‐1,2‐bis(trimethylsilyloxy)ethane. The substitution of the terminal moiety by diphenylmethyl groups has been characterized by 1 H, 13 C and 29 Si NMR, ESI and MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry.
