✦ Synopsis


The atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene has been studied using complexes of copper carboxylates. Compared with systems employing copper halides as the catalyst, the use of copper carboxylates resulted in faster polymerization rates and higher polydispersities. A ligand (dNbpy) to Cu(1) carboxylate ratio of 1 was sufficient to achieve the maximum rate of polymerization. The addition of a small amount of either Cu(I1) or Cu(1) halide to the copper carboxylate system yielded polymers with better controlled molecular weights and lower polydispersities yet the polymerization still remained relatively fast.

## Abstract Copper‐mediated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is versatile for living polymerizations of a wide range of monomers, but ATRP of vinyl acetate (VAc) remains challenging due to the low homolytic cleavage activity of the carbon‐halide bond of the dormant poly(vinyl acetate) (P

The atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate with FeCl 2 /iminodiacetic acid as the catalyst system in bulk was successfully implemented at 70 and 110 Β°C, respectively. The polymerization was controlled: the molecular weight of the resultant polymer was close to the ca

Sparteine was found to be an efficient ligand because when complexed with copper(I) halide it generated a homogeneous catalyst for the atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene or methyl methacrylate, which was initiated by (1-bromoethyl)benzene in the former case and by p-toluenesulfonyl chlo
