The recent development of organocatalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (O‐ATRP) represents a significant advancement in the field of controlled radical polymerizations. A number of classes of photoredox catalysts have been employed thus far in O‐ATRP. Analysis of the proposed mechanism gives...
