SARA ATRP or SET-LRP. End of controversy?
Abstract
A debate has proceeded in the literature regarding the mechanism of reversible-deactivation radical polymerization in the presence of Cu0. The two proposed models are supplemental activator and reducing agent atom transfer radical polymerization (SARA ATRP) and single electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP). In SARA ATRP, CuI is the major activator of alkyl halides, Cu0 is a supplemental activator and reducing agent of excess CuII through comproportionation, and disproportionation is negligible. In contrast, in SET-LRP, Cu0 is the major activator, CuI does not activate alkyl halides but instead undergoes instantaneous disproportionation. In this article we present a body of experimental and theoretical data, which supports the SARA ATRP mechanism and disagrees with the SET-LRP mechanism.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
