Abstract: Depending on the substituents, R1 and R2, ruthenium(II)-p-cymene complexes bearing N-heterocyclic carbene ligands are either efficient catalysts for the well-controlled atom transfer radical polymerisation of methyl methacrylate and styrene, or promote a redox-initiated free-radical process.
