N2 - RAFT polymerization has emerged as one of the more versatile methods of living radical polymerization. In this paper aspects of the kinetics and mechanism of RAFT polymerization are discussed with a view to pointing out some of the advantages and limitations of various RAFT agents and providing some guidance on how to select a RAFT agent for a particular polymerization. Factors discussed include: transfer constants (Ctr, C-tr) of RAFT agents - (measurement, substituent effects, prediction with MO calculations, reversibility), retardation (examples, dependence on RAFT agent and monomer, possible mechanisms) and formation of multimodal distributions (examples, contributing mechanisms).
