[en] Cobalt-Mediated Radical Polymerization (CMRP) is an efficient tool for polymerizing acrylates and vinyl esters. However, a challenge in CMRP remains in controlling the polymerization of both types of monomers with the same cobalt complex. Here, we show how Co(acac)2, efficient for unconjugated vinyl monomers, can also cope with acrylates.
