A novel copper containing photoinitiator, copper(II) acylphosphinate, and its application in both the photomediated CuAAC reaction and in atom transfer radical polymerization

A novel copper(II) complex has been developed in which the counter anion, acylphosphinate, serves as a visible light photoinitiator. This molecule is inactive in the dark but, upon visible light exposure, both CuAAC and ATRP reactions are readily and rapidly initiated.
