Halogen Bonding Catalyzes Precision Cationic Polymerization of Vinyl Ether

Caption

Through the reversible C-X bond scission by the ionic organocatalyst with the halogen bonding property, the metal-free and precision cationic polymerization of vinyl ether proceeded to give poly(vinyl ether) having the predictable molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution.
