Red-Light-Activated Dual Photocatalytic ATRP of Methacrylates and Acrylates Enabled by Copper Phthalocyanines

Abstract Copper phthalocyanines (Pc) represent a promising yet underexplored class of low-cost and photostable dyes for visible-light-mediated polymerizations. In this study, we demonstrate that copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and its derivatives efficiently mediate dual photocataly...
