Synthesis and Characterization of the Most Active Copper ATRP Catalyst Based on Tris[(4-dimethylaminopyridyl)methyl]amine.

TL;DR: ATRP of methyl acrylate showed a well-controlled polymerization using as little as 10 ppm of catalyst relative to monomer, while side reactions such as CuI-catalyzed radical termination (CRT) could be suppressed due to the low concentration of L/CuI at a steady state.
