Aluminum porphyrins are excellent catalyst of wide applicability for the “living” ring-opening polymerization of heterocyclic monomers. The present paper describes a successful extension of the applicability of the aluminum porphyrin initiators to addition polymerization. The polymer of alkyl methacrylate, acrylate, methacrylonitrile, and their block copolymers are formed with regulated molecular weight. The polymerization of methacrylic esters with aluminum porphyrins as initiators provides the first successful example of visible light-mediated living polymerization
