A big well done to Dan (and Ben) for his work on the organometallic-mediated radical polymerization (OMRP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA), styrene, and vinyl acetate, mediated by a novel tert-butyl-substituted amine–bis(phenolate) iron(II) complex in the absence of a halide source for an organometallic-only route to controlled radical polymerization.
