Phosphazenium halides (PZN−X; X = Cl, Br, I), highly delocalized bulky salts, turned out to be excellent cocatalysts to be combined with iron halides (FeX2) to form in situ active anionic Fe(II) complexes that effectively catalyze living radical polymerization of alkyl and functionalized methacrylates with improved catalytic activity and tolerance to polar functionalities. For example, equimolar combinations of FeBr2/PZN−Br efficiently induced a living radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with a bromide initiator [H−(MMA)2−Br] to give polymers with controlled molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions (Mw/Mn < 1.2). Polymer molecular weight could be extended upon addition of second feeds of monomer or at lower initiator dose, while retaining narrow distributions. In terms of activity and controllability, the PZN-based catalysts were thus predominantly distinguished from not only a conventional iron complex [FeBr2(PPh3)2; Ph = C6H5] but also other hitherto known combinations...
