摘要
The field of transition-metal-mediated controlled/living radical polymerization (CLRP) has become the subject of intense discussion regarding the mechanism of this widely-used and versatile process. Most mechanistic analyses (atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) vs. single-electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP)) have been based on model experiments, which cannot correctly mimic the true reaction conditions. We present, for the first time, a determination of the [CuIBr]/[L] (L=nitrogen-based chelating ligand) ratio and the extent of CuIBr/L disproportionation during CLRP of methyl acrylate (MA) in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) with Cu0 wire as a transition-metal catalyst source. The results suggest that Cu0 acts as a supplemental activator and reducing agent of CuIIBr2/L to CuIBr/L. More importantly, the CuIBr/L species seem to be responsible for the activation of SET-LRP.
