| Abstract |
Atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) and polymerisation (ATRP) reactions are commonly catalyzed by copper(I) complexes which react, reversibly, with a dormant alkyl halide initiator (RX) releasing a reactive organic radical R˙. The copper catalyst bears a multidentate N-donor ligand (L) and the active catalyst is simply Cu(I)L. The role of the catalyst in these reactions is to abstract a halogen atom from RX forming the corresponding higher oxidation state species Cu(II)LX. However, in order to perform its catalytic function (in multiple turnovers) the halido ligand must be released from the copper ion en route to regenerating the active catalyst Cu(I)L. In this work we investigate the kinetics of the Cu(I)LX/Cu(I)L equilibrium where L is the tridentate N,N,N',N'',N''-pentamethyl-diethylenetriamine (PMDETA). Using electrochemical analysis we find that the rate of formation of the active catalyst Cu(I)L is strongly dependent on solvent. We demonstrate that both the kinetics and thermodynamics of this simple ligand exchange reaction are critical in the overall reaction pathway. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 June 2013.
All research outputs
#23,109,385
of 25,756,911 outputs
Outputs from Dalton Transactions: An International Journal of Inorganic Chemistry
#12,535
of 21,221 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#184,440
of 207,328 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Dalton Transactions: An International Journal of Inorganic Chemistry
#113
of 320 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,756,911 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 21,221 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 207,328 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 320 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
