Halomethyl-cobalt(bis-acetylacetonate) for the controlled synthesis of functional polymers.
Novel organocobalt complexes featuring weak C-CoL2 bonds (L = acetylacetonate) are prepared and used as sources of halomethyl radicals. They permit the precision synthesis of α-halide functionalized and telechelic polymers in organic media or in water. Substitution of halide by azide allows derivatization of polymers using the CuAAC click reaction.
