Organocatalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (O-ATRP) employs organic photoredox catalysts and alkyl halide initiators to synthesize well-defined polymers of target molecular weights and low dispersity. In this work, a new class of core modified phenoxazines are used as photoredox for O-ATRP. These molecules were found to exhibit superior catalytic performance in O-ATRP compared to their parent compounds which were previously studied.
