Photoinduced Electron Transfer Reactions for Macromolecular Syntheses
TL;DR: This review paper provides a comprehensive account of the fundamentals and applications of photoinduced electron transfer reactions in polymer synthesis, including traditional photopolymerization methods, namely free radical and cationic polymerizations, and step-growth polymerizations involving electron transfer processes are included.

Visible Light and Sunlight Photoinduced ATRP with ppm of Cu Catalyst
Dominik Konkolewicz,Kristin Schröder,Johannes Buback,Stefan Bernhard,Krzysztof Matyjaszewski +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, photo-induced ATRP was performed with visible light and sunlight in the presence of parts per million (ppm) copper catalysts, and the reaction mixture yielded polymerization in case of 392 and 450 nm light but not for 631 nm light.

Click Chemistry: Diverse Chemical Function from a Few Good Reactions.
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of powerful, highly reliable, and selective reactions for the rapid synthesis of useful new compounds and combinatorial libraries through heteroatom links (C-X-C), an approach called click chemistry is defined, enabled, and constrained by a handful of nearly perfect "springloaded" reactions.

Peptidotriazoles on solid phase: [1,2,3]-triazoles by regiospecific copper(i)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of terminal alkynes to azides.
TL;DR: A novel regiospecific copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkynes to azides on solid-phase is reported, and the X-ray structure of 2-azido-2-methylpropanoic acid has been solved, to yield structural information on the 1, 3-dipoles entering the reaction.

TL;DR: The authors proposed a reversible additive-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) method for living free-radical polymerization, which can be used with a wide range of monomers and reaction conditions and in each case it provides controlled molecular weight polymers with very narrow polydispersities.
