Reversible-deactivation radical polymerization mediated by transition-metal complexes or organometallic compounds.
Notes:
  1. Transition metal mediated polymerization is an overarching term for atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and organometallic-mediated radical polymerization (OMRP). It is sometimes used as a synonym for transition-metal-mediated atom-transfer radical polymerization. This use of the term in that context without explanation is deprecated since it also includes organometallic-mediated radical polymerization.
  2. Cobalt-mediated radical polymerization is usually a form of organometallic-mediated radical polymerization.
