The reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (RATRP) of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)/FeCl3/triphenylphosphine(PPh3) as the initiating system, was successfully carried out in bulk at 80°C. Plots of In ([M]0/[M]) vs time and molecular weight evolution vs monomer conversion presented a linear dependence and the polymerization was proved to accord with the first-order kinetics. After 10 hours’ reaction, the monomer conversion was up to 84%. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was used in testing the molecular weight of polymer and molecular weight distribution, the results showed that polymer molecular weight distribution was as low as 1.018 (Mn=3288 g/mol). Moreover, the resultant polymer was characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectroscopy and Pyrolysis GC-MS, and the results showed that the polymerization mechanism is consistent with RATRP.

A visible light responsive MOF material has been constructed by the pillared-layer approach to conduct atom transfer radical polymerization. The as-prepared polymers show narrow molecular weight distribution and high retention of chain-end activity.

Reverse atom transfer radical polymerization of methacrylonitrile (MAN) initiated by azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was approached for the first time in the absence of any ligand in four novel ionic liquids, 1-methylimidazolium acetate ([mim][AT]), 1-methylimidazolium butyrate ([mim][BT]), 1-methylimidazolium caproate ([mim][CT]), and 1-methylimidazolium heptylate ([mim][HT]). The polymerization in [mim][AT] not only showed the best control of molecular weight and its distribution but also provided a more rapid reaction rate with the ratio of [MAN]:[FeCl3]:[AIBN] at 300:2:1. The block copolymer PMAN-b-PSt was obtained via a conventional ATRP process in [mim][AT] by using the resulting PMAN as a macroinitiator. After simple purification, [mim][AT] and FeCl3 could be easily recycled and reused and had no effect on the living nature of reverse atom transfer radical polymerization of MAN.
