Abstract
A Cu(ii) MOF can serve as an comprehensive catalyst for activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP) in the synthesis of benzyl methacrylate, styrene, isoprene and 4-vinylpyridine.
Highlights
A Cu(II) metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) can serve as an efficient catalyst for activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP), e.g. for the synthesis of poly(benzyl methacrylate) (PBzMA) and polystyrene (PS)
Reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) has attracted significant attention in polymer as well as materials sciences, and without any doubt, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is one of the most significant synthetic techniques owing to its applicability and capability to synthesize well-defined polymers with a predetermined molecular weight, designed microstructure and tailored-made functionalities.[1,2,3,4]
Based on the principle of ATRP, activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP) with the advantages of high oxygen tolerance and low metal catalyst requirement were developed to further advance the synthetic field.[5,6,7,8]
Summary
A Cu(II) MOF can serve as an efficient catalyst for activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP), e.g. for the synthesis of poly(benzyl methacrylate) (PBzMA) and polystyrene (PS).
