Organocatalysed photoredox-mediated atom transfer radical polymerization is a very promising method, although many challenges still lie ahead. Now, Kwon, Gierschner, Kim and co-workers present a computer-aided-design strategy to identify organic photoredox catalysts for this process. The success of the design strategy is demonstrated by polymerizations of methyl methacrylate and styrene.
