Abstract

Four-coordinate iron(II) complexes bearing alpha-diimine ligands with alkyl substituents are shown to be efficient catalysts for the well-controlled atom transfer radical polymerisation of styrene; catalysts containing aryldiimine ligands support competitive beta-hydrogen chain transfer processes.
