The kinetics of 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) initiated polymerization of styrene in N , N ‐dimethylformamide (DMF) at 60°C were investigated in the presence of dibromo( N , N ‐dimethylformamide)copper(II) complex. The complex was prepared in situ by mixing tetrakis ( N , N ‐dimethylformamide)copper(II) perchlorate with LiBr in the molar ratio of 1 : 2. The equilibrium constant for [Cu(DMF) 4 ] 2+ + 2Br − ⇌ Cu(DMF) 2 Br 2 + 2DMF was calculated by the limiting logarithmic method as 1.80 × 10 3 L 2 mol −2 . The velocity constant at 60°C for the interaction of polystyryl radical with Cu(DMF) 2 Br 2 is 7.46 × 10 4 L mol −1 s −1 .
