Organocatalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization driven by visible light
Precise control from a metal-free catalyst
Polymerization can be a rather dangerous free for all, with molecules joining randomly in chains at a chaotic pace. One of modern chemistry's great accomplishments has been the development of methods to assemble polymers in steady, orderly steps. However, order comes at a price, and often it's the need for metal catalysts that are hard to remove from the plastic product. Theriot et al. used theory to guide the design of a metal-free light-activated catalyst that offers precise control in atom transfer radical polymerization, alleviating concerns about residual metal contamination (see the Perspective by Shanmugam and Boyer).
