Table 1. Bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated using visible light in presence of TTT–DTDA and TTT–BTDA COFs and triethylamine as co-initiators, at room temperature a .

COF Conversion (%) Molecular wt (Mn) (g mol–1) Dispersity b Mw/Mn
TTT–DTDA 63% 2.3950 × 105 2.2161
TTT–BTDA 54% 2.4292 × 105 2.9246
No catalyst c 5% 0.9437 × 102 1.1328

a λ = 420–700 nm, time = 12 h, [MMA] = 9.39 mmol, [TEA] = 0.35 mmol, 20 mg of as-synthesized COF initiator.

bNumber-average molecular weight (Mn) and molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) determined by GPC.

cWithout any addition of COF initiator.
