  • 61 Accesses

Part of the book series: Macromolecular Compounds ((MMCO))

Abstract

The methods used for the study of non-free-radical active sites which are responsible for the formation of macromolecules are mainly spectroscopic, electrochemical, and quantum-chemical. Among these, spectroscopic methods are used extensively, their application to the study of such species already becoming routine by the 1960’s. The parallel electrochemical methods are important in a small range of suitable systems. Quantum-chemical studies began to advance to general systems only by the mid-seventies.
