Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) The living end: Organobismuthines promote highly controlled living radical polymerization through two activation mechanisms, namely, thermal generation and degenerative transfer (see scheme). Both conjugated and nonconjugated vinyl monomers are polymerized to give well-defined polymers with predetermined molecular weight (Mn) and low polydispersity index (PDI).
