One of the most effective methods for precision polymer synthesis is controlled radical polymerization, in which atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is an excellent example. A series of ferrocene derivatives were prepared and applied for polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA). Formulation by combination of the ferrocenyl ligands and coprous bromide could catalyze ATRP, of which the performance is strongly dependent on the substituents on the Cp rings as well as the reaction condition. The redox potentials of the ferrocene derivatives reveal that the lower E1/2, the better performance on ATRP. The results also showed that the molecular structures of the catalysts determined by X-ray crystallography also play an important role for the performance of the polymerization.
