Advanced supramolecular initiator for nitroxide-mediated polymerizations containing both metal-ion coordination and hydrogen-bonding sites.
The synthesis of a new difunctional nitroxide initiator combining two orthogonal supramolecular entities is reported; controlled radical polymerization of styrene using this initiator is demonstrated to generate well-defined heterotelechelic polymers in a one-step procedure.
