Better Together: Photoredox/Copper Dual Catalysis in Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization

Abstract: Photomediated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (photoATRP) is an activator regeneration method, which allows for the controlled synthesis of well‐defined polymers via light irradiation. Traditional photoATRP is often limited by the need for high‐energy ultraviolet or violet light. These could negatively affect the control and selectivity of the polymerization, promote side reactions, and may not be applicable to biologically relevant systems. This drawback can be circumvented by an introduction of the catalytic amount of photocatalysts, which absorb visible and/or NIR light and, therefore, controlled, regenerative ATRP can be performed with the dual‐catalytic cycle. Herein, a critical summary of recent developments in the field of dual‐catalysis concerning Cu‐catalyzed ATRP is provided. Contributions of involved species are examined mechanistically, followed by challenges and future directions towards the next generation of advanced functional macromolecular materials.
