An efficient iron-based catalyst bearing N-alkyl-2-pyridylmethanimine ligand for atom transfer radical polymerisation.
The combination of iron(II) bromide with one equivalent of N-(n-hexyl)-2-pyridylmethanimine is shown to be an efficient catalyst for the well-controlled atom transfer radical polymerisation of methyl methacrylate.
