Organocatalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization driven by visible light

Abstract

Precise control from a metal-free catalyst: Polymerization can be a rather dangerous free for all, with molecules joining randomly in chains at a chaotic pace. One of modern chemistry's great accomplishments has been the development of methods to assemble polymers in steady, orderly steps. However, order comes at a price, and often it's the need for metal catalysts that are hard to remove from the plastic product. Theriot et al. used theory to guide the design of a metal-free light-activated catalyst that offers precise control in atom transfer radical polymerization, alleviating concerns about residual metal contamination (see the Perspective by Shanmugam and Boyer). Science , this issue p. 1082 ; see also p. 1053

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.
