Reversible-deactivation radical polymerization
mediated by an organometallic reagent.
Notes:
The term organometallic-meditated radical polymerization is not usually used in describing an
atom-transfer radical polymerization process
.
The mechanism of organometallic-meditated radical polymerization may involve
stable-radical-mediated polymerization
(SRMP),
degenerative chain-transfer radical polymerization
(DTRP),
atom-transfer radical polymerization
(ATRP) or some combination of these depending on the specific reagents and reaction conditions.
Example:
The best-known example of OMRP is
cobalt-mediated radical polymerization
, CMRP.
