This work reports the first use of organic chloride salts as catalysts for reversible complexation mediated living radical polymerization. Owing to the strong halogen-bond forming ability of Cl−, the studied four tetraalkylammonium chloride catalysts (R4N+Cl−) successfully control the polymerization...
