[a] Reactions were conducted in 50 vol % DMSO, mCDs=3 mg, and irradiated under blue light LED (λ=405 nm, 100 mW cm−2). Conversion was calculated gravimetrically. Theoretical molecular weight (M n,th) values were calculated based on conversions M n,th=MEBPA+ [MMA]/[EBPA]×conversion×MMMA. Number‐average molecular weight (M n) and disperty (Đ) were obtained by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) in THF based on poly(methyl methacrylate) standards. [b] Reaction was kept in the dark.
