Dimethyl‐dihydroacridines as Photocatalysts in the Organocatalyzed ATRP of Acrylate Monomers
Abstract: Development of photocatalysts (PCs) with diverse properties has been essential in advancement of organocatalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (O‐ATRP). In this work, dimethyl‐dihydroacridines are presented as a new family of organic PCs, for the first time enabling controlled polymerization of challenging acrylate monomers via O‐ATRP. Structure‐property relationships for seven PCs are established, demonstrating tunable…
