Abstract

Methyl methacrylate was polymerized in the presence of dimanganese decacarbonyl [Mn<sub>2</sub>(CO)<sub>10</sub>]/2-cyanoprop-2-yl-1-dithionaphthalate (CPDN) <italic>via</italic> a photo-induced controlled radical polymerization under visible (green LED with <italic>λ</italic><sub>max</sub> of 565 nm) or sunlight irradiation at a moderate temperature.
