We and others have previously reported the intermolecular umpolung reactions of Michael acceptors catalyzed by an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC). The representative tail-to-tail dimerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) has now been intensively investigated, leading to the following conclusions: (1) The catalysis

Amino-functional macroporous monoliths from polymerized high internal phase emulsion (polyHIPE) were surface modified with initiators for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The ATRP initiator groups on the polyHIPE surface were successfully used to initiate activator regeneration by electron transfer (ARGET)
