Simpler vinyl polymerization with novel halogen-based catalyst

Caption

Halogen bonding organocatalysts (R-Hal-B) facilitated smooth living cationic polymerization of vinyl (R-Cl) monomers at room temperature, producing a good amount of pure yield, opening doors to achieving low-cost environment friendly vinyl polymerization reactions for industry.
