The results indicated that the polymerization possessed typical controlled/living radical polymerization characteristics. The analysis for terminal group of obtained polymer by ^1H NMR proved that NCS is an initiator for ATRP. In comparison with NBS, the polymerization rate was slower and the resulted polymer had narrower molecular weight distribution （MWD） when NCS was employed as the initiator.展开更多

The major features of the present procedure are the mild conditions, good yields, short reaction times, and the use of inexpensive and readily available organocatalyst. Moreover, N-chlorosueeinimide （NCS） was found to be indispensable, and thiourea could greatly promote the reaction.展开更多
