outer-sphere electron transfer ATRP

synonyms: OSET-ATRP, single-electron-transfer RDRP (SET-RDRP)
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08927
Atom-transfer radical polymerization where the activation step involves consecutive single electron transfer and atom or group transfer.
Notes:
  1. The terms SET-RDRP (single-electron-transfer reversible-deactivation radical polymerization), SET-LRP (single-electron-transfer living radical polymerization), and zero-valent metal-mediated polymerization (e.g., \(\ce{Cu^{0}}\)-mediated radical polymerization) are sometimes used to describe a process where the polymerization commences with the activator in the form of a zero-valent metal, e.g., \(\ce{Cu^{0}}\). The use of terms that might imply an outer sphere electron-transfer mechanism without evidence that the reaction proceeds by OSET-ATRP is deprecated.
  2. Terms containing the phrase 'living radical polymerization' are deprecated.
  3. OSET-ATRP may be referred to as ATRP.
