Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A universal high reactive ligand, Me₆TREN, was successfully explored as the reducing agent for the ambient temperature copper‐mediated LRP of AN. The key to success is ascribed to the optimized Me₆TREN amount and reaction conditions employed, producing ideal living free radical polymerization characteristics. The very high chain‐end functionality of the resultant polymer has been confirmed by GPC and ¹H NMR analyses as well as the chain‐extension reaction. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1v8648qg" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
