A highly active Fe(I) catalyst for radical polymerisation and taming the polymerisation with iodine.
A fast and controlled radical polymerisation of acrylates and acrylamides can be achieved with a combination of a highly active metal catalyst, Fe2Cp2(CO)4, and a mild radical scavenger, iodine, in the presence of an iodide initiator.
