Abstract
Abstract On the basis of synthesizing a highly efficient chain‐transfer agent ethyl (1‐isobutoxyethyl) carbonotrithioate(CTA), living cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE) was successfully initiated by visible light catalysis. The random copolymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether and propyl vinyl ether (PVE), cyclohexyl vinyl ether (CyVE), and 2‐chloroethyl vinyl ether (CEVE) was achieved on the basis of investigating the reactivity ratios of vinyl ether monomers. The influence of photocatalyst (PC) concentration and wavelength on the copolymerizations was investigated. It was found that high PC concentration results in a fast polymerization rate. The wavelength of the blue LED was most suitable for this reaction system. This photocatalytic reaction provides a new way for molecular design of cationic polymerization.
