TL;DR
Running SI-ATRP (polymerization) of polyacrylamide. But my control reactions that does not have any free or surface bound initiators only monomer, CuCl, and Me6TREN is forming a lot of polymer at high molecular weights
Can CuCl and Me6TREN form radicals?
Reaction is at room temp and in water (not buffered)
