Oxygen tolerance in ontrolled radical polymerizations has been an active field of study in recent years. Herein, we report a photocontrolled, additive-free iniferter polymerization that operates in completely open vials utilizing the "polymerizing through oxygen" mechanism. Trithiocarbonates are directly activated with high intensity 450 nm light to produce narrowly dispersed (<i>M</i> <sub>w</sub>/<i>M</i> <sub>n</sub> = 1.1-1.6) polyacrylates and polyacrylamides in only 1 hour of irradiation. ...[more]
