A facile, simple, and inexpensive ionic liquid, 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazole chloride, as ligand for the iron(iii)-mediated reverse atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate

Abstract

The facile, simple, and inexpensive ILs, 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazole chloride ([Rmim][Cl]), are explored for the first time as ligands for the reverse ATRP of methacrylates.
