Efficient photoredox catalysts containing transition metals, such as iridium and ruthenium, to initiate organic reactions and polymerization under visible light have recently emerged. However, these catalysts are composed of rare metals, which limit their applications. In this study, we report an efficient photoinduced living radical polymerization process that involves the use of chlorophyll a...

Vinyl ether (VE) was long believed to be among the monomers that could not radically homopolymerized. Therefore, synthesize block copolymers with versatile polymerizable monomers, efficient transformation reactions were necessary between living cationic and controlled radical polymerizations. Under such circumstances, some groundbreaking polymerizations have been discovered. One reaction, a met...
