Inner-sphere electron transfer atom-transfer radical polymerization

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005886",
  "term": "Inner-sphere electron transfer atom-transfer radical polymerization",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A mechanism of atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) where electron transfer occurs directly between the metal catalyst and the dormant species through a bridging ligand. This direct interaction facilitates the activation and deactivation steps of the polymerization. It contrasts with outer-sphere electron transfer ATRP, where electron transfer occurs without direct ligand bridging.",
