Selective Photoactivation of Trithiocarbonates Mediated by Metal Naphthalocyanines and Overcoming Activation Barriers Using Thermal Energy

Zilong Wu et al.

Summary: Metal naphthalocyanines (MNcs) have been demonstrated as efficient photocatalysts for controlled polymerization reactions. Due to their lower redox potential, they exhibit a unique selectivity in activating trithiocarbonate RAFT agents, depending on the nature of the R group. Furthermore, by adjusting the reaction temperature, the activation barrier for trithiocarbonates with a secondary R group can be overcome.
