a UV-vis spectra of thin films of CM1-s and CM2-s, and the corresponding CP1-s and CP2-s thin films after polymerization. b Schematic illustration of the customized in situ UV-vis absorption setup equipped with a temperature-controlling unit. False-color 2D plots of UV-vis scanning kinetic curves for (c) CM1-s and (d) CM2-s thin films at different temperatures. The numbers in the top right corner of the panels in c and d indicate the time needed to reach full polymerization.
