An air-tolerant reversible complexation mediated polymerization (RCMP) technique, which can be carried out without prior deoxygenation, is developed. The system contains a monomer, an alkyl iodide initiating dormant species, air (oxygen), an aldehyde, N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI), and a base. Oxygen...
