Iodosylbenzene-Pseudohalide-Based Initiators for Radical Polymerization

Hypervalent iodine-based dynamic and self-healing network polymers

Linear polymers with carboxylate pendant groups participate in ligand-exchange reactions with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene to afford dynamic and self-healing networks, which become set when exposed to UV light or heat due to irreversible radical coupling.
