Visible light-controlled living cationic polymerization of methoxystyrene

Photo-controlled living polymerization has received great attention in recent years but the reports on photo-controlled living cationic polymerization are limited. Here, the authors demonstrate a metal-free and visible light-controlled living cationic polymerization using a photocatalyst and a phosp...

description Photo-controlled living polymerization has received great attention in recent years but the reports on photo-controlled living cationic polymerization are limited. Here, the authors demonstrate a metal-free and visible light-controlled living cationic polymerization using a photocatalyst and a phosphate as the chain transfer agent for the polymerization of 4-methoxystyrene.
