Abstract

Living radical polymerization has attracted increasing attention due to its high efficiency and precision in synthesis of specific polymeric materials. This article summarizes recent progresses in organometallic mediated radical polymerization (OMRP), which is one of the most important LRP methods. Various organometallic complexes include titanium, vanadium, chromium, molybdenum, iron, osmium, cobalt, rhodium, palladium and copper mediating living radical polymerization. Applications of OMRP in photo-induced OMRP, synthesis of block-copolymers, combination with other LRPs, and terminal functionalization or modification of polymer chain are described.
