Halogen exchange during atom transfer polymerisation of methyl methacrylate mediated by copper(I) N-alkyl-2-pyridylmethanimine complexes
Abstract
Highly efficient exchange between the halogen arising from the copper(I) halide and the alkyl halide originating from the initiator occurs during atom transfer polymerisation of methyl methacrylate mediated by copper(I) N-alkyl-2-pyridylmethanimine complexes.
