An Efficient Iron-based Catalyst Bearing N-Alkyl-2-pyridylmethanimine Ligand for Atom Transfer Radical Polymerisation

Zhang, Huiqi; Schubert, Ulrich S.

Abstract:

The combination of iron(II) bromide with one equivalent of N- (n-hexyl)-2-pyridylmethanimine is shown to be an efficient catalyst for the well-controlled atom transfer radical polymerisation of methyl methacrylate.
