Abstract

A novel light-active Pd complex having a BINAP ligand with 2-naphthyl substituents on the phosphines was synthesized and characterized. The complex showed good polymerization activity toward 4-methoxystyrene during irradiation (λ = 395 nm) and the reaction progress can be controlled by ON-OFF switching of the light source. Mechanistic investigations strongly suggest a coordination-insertion mechanism.
