Abstract

Methyltellanyl radical (MeTe*) was for the first time demonstrated to abstract a MeTe group from an alkyl-TeMe (R-TeMe) and an iodine atom from an alkyl-iodide (R-I) to form an alkyl radical R*. Based on this finding, photo-induced living radical polymerizations were developed, where the photolysis of dimethyl ditelluride (MeTe) ₂ was used to generate MeTe* and the MeTe* was used as an activator of polymer-TeMe and polymer-iodide adducts. This protocol was effective for the polymerizations of styrene and methyl methacrylate, yielding low-polydispersity polymers.
