The 2‐oxo‐tetrahydrofuran‐3‐yl 9H‐carbazole‐9‐carbodithioate (OTCC) mediated reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerizations of styrene and methyl acrylate were investigated. The results showed that OTCC was an effective RAFT agent for the polymerizations of styrene and methyl acrylate. The polymerizations exhibited “living”/controlled characters. The resulting carbazole and 2‐oxo‐tetrahydrofuran‐3‐yl groups end‐labeled polymer exhibited stronger fluorescence in N , N ‐dimethyl formamide, compared with those of OTCC under the same conditions. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
