Abstract

A new Fe(II) complex (Me₃TACN)FeBr₂(κ-NCMe), which is stabilized by a weakly coordinating solvent, was prepared as an efficient and reusable catalyst for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene, MMA, and BA. The complex was conveniently generated from either [(Me₃TACN)Fe(μ-Br)₃(Me₃TACN)]⁺[Br]⁻ or a mixture of FeBr₂ and Me₃TACN in MeCN.
