Abstract
Our group integrates fundamental and applied research within the scope of soft materials. In this seminar, we will discuss a new mechanism for ring-opening metathesis polymerization that is now a centerpiece of our program. The approach leverages visible light photoredox catalysis to allow for the use of organic initiators, in contrast to widely used metal-alkylidene initiators. Studies on our mechanistic hypothesis have yielded an exciting interplay of challenges and opportunities, often with one disguised as the other. We will share our findings that include methods for stereocontrol, chain transfer, and functional group compatibility, as well as our adventures into the applied and commercial sectors.
