Atom transfer radical polymerization by solvent-stabilized (Me3TACN)FeX2: a practical access to reusable iron(ii) catalysts

A new Fe(ii) complex (Me3TACN)FeBr2( Kappa -NCMe), which is stabilized by a weakly coordinating solvent, was prepared as an efficient and reusable catalyst for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene, MMA, and BA. The complex was conveniently generated from either [(Me3TACN)Fe( mu -Br...

Summary:A new Fe(ii) complex (Me3TACN)FeBr2( Kappa -NCMe), which is stabilized by a weakly coordinating solvent, was prepared as an efficient and reusable catalyst for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene, MMA, and BA. The complex was conveniently generated from either [(Me3TACN)Fe( mu -Br)3(Me3TACN)]+[Br]- or a mixture of FeBr2 and Me3TACN in MeCN.
