F. Simal et al., Radical reactions catalysed by ruthenium(II) complexes with anionic carborane phosphine ligands: Kharasch addition to olefins and controlled polymerisation, TETRAHEDR L, 41(28), 2000, pp. 5347-5351
Ruthenium-carborane complexes 1-3 mediated the Kharasch addition of carbon
tetrachloride across olefins with high yields which markedly depended on th
e catalyst and the substrate used. In addition, the atom transfer radical p
olymerisation of methyl methacrylate could be carried out in a highly contr
olled way. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd All rights reserved.
