The generation of carbon-centered
radicals from alkyl bromides
through an oxidative quenching pathway using perylene as an organic
visible-light photocatalyst is described. This methodology is used
to initiate the radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate and
other functionalized vinyl monomers. The polymers possess bromide
chain-end groups that can be used to reinitiate polymerization to
produce block copolymers. Control over the polymerization propagation
can be achieved through pulsed light sequences while the ability to
use natural sunlight to promote carbon–carbon bond formation
produces polymers with dispersity as low as 1.29.
