controlled radical polymerization

isible light photoredox catalysis, formerly inaccessible redox-neutral reaction scaffolds, has enabled significant development
of radical chemistry in organic and polymer synthesis. So far, most progress in this field has been made with transition metal
complexes, yet several aspects of current transition-metal photoredox catalysis still remain important challenges. Although organic
photoredox catalysis has been recently investigated as an attractive alternative of transition metal catalysis, only limited class of
organic dyes has been employed as organic catalysts. In this presentation, I will discuss about a rational molecular design for an
efficient visible-light organic photoreodx catalysts with the broad diversity in structure and properties. Also, I will talk about their
synthetic applications for light-driven controlled radical polymerization.
