Photoinduced reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (photo-RDRP) techniques offer exceptional control over polymerization, providing access to well-defined polymers and hybrid materials with complex architectures. However, most photo-RDRP methods rely on UV/visible light or photoredox catalysts (PCs), which require multistep synthesis. Herein, we present the first example of fully oxygen-tolerant red/NIR-light-mediated photoinduced atom transfer (photo-ATRP) in a high-throughput manner under biologically relevant conditions. The method uses commercially available methylene blue (MB+) as PC [X-CuII/TPMA]+ (TPMA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) deactivator. mechanistic study revealed that MB+ undergoes reductive quenching cycle presence TPMA ligand used excess. formed semireduced MB (MB•) sustains by regenerating [CuI/TPMA]+ activator together provides polymerization. This dual catalytic system exhibited excellent oxygen tolerance, enabling polymerizations high monomer conversions (>90%) less than 60 min at low volumes (50-250 μL) synthesis library DNA-polymer bioconjugates narrow molecular weight distributions (Đ < 1.30) an open-air 96-well plate. In addition, broad absorption spectrum allowed ATRP be triggered UV NIR irradiation (395-730 nm). opens avenues for integration orthogonal reactions. Finally, MB+/Cu catalysis showed good biocompatibility during cells, expands potential applications this method.

Abstract Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) with dual photoredox/copper catalysis combines the advantages of photo-ATRP and photoredox-mediated ATRP, utilizing visible light ensuring broad monomer scope solvent compatibility while minimizing side reactions. Despite its popularity, challenges include high photocatalyst (PC) loadings (10 to 1000 ppm), requiring additional purification increasing costs. In this study, we discover a PC that functions at sub-ppm level for ATRP through mechanism-driven design. Through studying mechanisms, find efficient polymerizations are driven by PCs whose ground state oxidation potential—responsible regeneration—play more important role than their excited reducing power, responsible initiation. This is verified screening varying redox potentials triplet generation capabilities. Based on these findings, identify highly PC, 4DCDP-IPN, featuring moderate power maximized potential. Employing 50 ppb, synthesize poly(methyl methacrylate) conversion, narrow molecular weight distribution, chain-end fidelity. system exhibits oxygen tolerance supports large-scale reactions under ambient conditions. Our systematic design, offer meaningful insights controlled metallaphotoredox-mediated syntheses beyond ATRP.
